Our approach

 Our mission is to offer a safe and supportive environment through a person-centred approach. We are committed to tailoring therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that the counselling process is both meaningful and effective.

Children

When working with children, I create a nurturing and supportive environment where they feel safe to express themselves. I often use therapeutic art and play  to help children communicate their thoughts and emotions in a way that feels natural to them. By integrating creative activities like drawing, storytelling, and role-playing, I can help children process their experiences and develop coping skills in a non-threatening way. My goal is to build trust and offer guidance as they navigate their emotions and behaviours.

Young People & Adolescents

Counselling young people and adolescents requires a blend of empathy, respect, and flexibility. I recognise the unique challenges they face, from identity formation to peer pressure and academic stress. I use a combination of therapeutic art modalities underpinned by the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and The Polyvagal Theory to address issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and behavioural concerns. These approaches help adolescents develop healthy coping strategies, build resilience, and gain confidence in their ability to handle life’s challenges. I also value their input in the counselling process, empowering them to take an active role in their personal growth.

Adults and Parenting

For adult clients, I offer a collaborative and client-centred approach, tailoring my methods to meet their individual needs.  I offer tailored, evidence-based support for adults and parents, utilising therapies such as CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I assist parents in navigating the challenges of parenting while fostering personal growth, building coping skills, and providing insights to strengthen their mental health and well-being.
