Therapy for Young People
A safe, confidential space for young people to talk, be heard, and find their way forward — online sessions available across Essex and the UK.
Supporting Young People Through Life's Challenges
Growing up can be tough. Young people today face pressures that previous generations never had to navigate — social media, academic stress, identity, friendships, and family changes — all at a time when their brains and emotions are still developing.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where young people aged 11–18 can talk openly about whatever is on their mind. Sessions are entirely online, making it easy to access support from the comfort and privacy of home.
I work with both neurologically diverse and neurotypical young people, including those with Autism and ADHD, tailoring my approach to suit each individual's communication style, sensory needs, and pace.
Neurodiversity-Informed Therapy
Understanding and celebrating different minds
I have experience working with young people who are autistic, have ADHD, or are awaiting assessment. I understand that neurodivergent young people may experience the world differently — and that traditional therapy approaches don't always fit.
My approach is flexible and adapted to each young person. I work at their pace, use clear and direct communication, and create a predictable, low-pressure environment where they can feel genuinely understood.
- Autism — neurologically diverse and neurotypical

Helping young people understand and manage anxious thoughts, panic, and overwhelming feelings.

Family Difficulties
Processing family breakdown, parental separation, bereavement, or changes at home.
Identity & Self-Esteem
Exploring who they are, building confidence, and developing a positive sense of self.
How Online Sessions Work
All sessions take place online via a secure video call, making it easy for young people to access support from home — no travel, no waiting rooms, just a quiet space and a device.
Free Consultation
We start with a free consultation call — usually with a parent or carer present — to talk through what support is needed and answer any questions.
First Session
The Initial Assessment is a chance for the young person to get comfortable, ask questions, and decide if they'd like to continue counselling — there's no pressure.
Ongoing Support
Regular weekly sessions at a consistent time, giving the young person a reliable, safe space to talk and work through what's on their mind.
A Note for Parents & Carers
I understand that reaching out for support for your young person can feel like a big step. I'm happy to speak with you first to answer any questions and help you decide if counselling is the right fit. Parental consent is required for young people under 16, and I'll always keep you informed of any safeguarding concerns, while maintaining your young person's confidentiality within those boundaries.
