CHILD & TEEN ANXIETY
COUNSELLING & THERAPY

Supporting Young People and Their Families is my Passion
IMG_0189.jpeg

I’ve spent the last 20 years working with children and teenagers with social, emotional and mental health challenges (SEMH). I’ve been a special needs teacher, a school mental health counsellor, the head teacher of special needs schools for children with SEMH and am a BACP accredited psychotherapist.

I'm experienced in working with young people with internalised and externalised mental health challenges including anxiety, emotionally-based school avoidance (school refusal), depression and social difficulties. I've worked with young people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, and with neuro, gender and identity diversity. 

I'm a passionate life-long learner and often 'geeking out' on an audio-book or podcast from leading experts in the field of teen anxiety. I'm also a husband and father to two boys. 

​

My approach is to help young people build skills, discover what they care about, take action, experiment and learn from the world. I work with children, teenagers and young adults and aim to involve their parents/carers in some capacity as change happens most powerfully when everyone is included in the therapeutic process. If a child isn't ready for counselling, I work with parents, coaching them to use therapeutic frameworks to support their children.

ADOLESCENT ANXIETY

Managing anxiety takes determination and it's a skill that your child can learn

Even if your child isn't ready for counselling, you can learn ways to help them with their anxiety

Let's Set Up a Time to Talk
 

We can have a 20 minute chat on Zoom, either just you and I or with your child too, to see how I can support you and if we're a good fit. There's no charge for this consultation call.
 

I work online so your/your child's sessions will also take place on Zoom. I don't offer in person sessions.
 

You can book your consultation using the button below. If you don't find a time that works, or you have any questions, you can fill in the contact form or use the buttons to email me or send me a What's App.
