Counselling for Children, Teenagers & Young Adults

---

Each client is unique and will be looking to gain certain things from their Counselling sessions. Young clients are always kept at the heart of the work, allowing them to grow in confidence and self esteem. 

Clients always lead the sessions and what we discuss, this provides an element of control over their therapy sessions and can be very empowering and builds on self confidence and esteem.

A person centred approach ensures sessions are led by clients throughout, working at a pace that suits them.

Young clients will never be pushed to talk about something they do not wish to discuss. They are encouraged to talk about what feels relevant to them each session. Choice is very important in therapy.

I am trained as an integrative Counsellor. This means I can draw from different theories and strategies to work on specific issues.

Children and young people are actively encouraged to make choices where possible. This could be deciding what we talk about, or the activity we do within the session. This can build on a whole range of skills such as:

• Communication skills 
• Creative thinking
• Decision making 
• Independent thinking  
• Self Esteem and confidence

Young people thrive from having choice and some element of control with their therapy which can be really beneficial for their engagement within sessions.
