My Approach

My approach is child-centred, collaborative, creative and supportive. Creating a warm therapeutic relationship with each child or young person is the most important part of my work. I use creativity, play and humour to help develop this. I work with each child or young person to find the materials that feel comfortable for them. I follow their pace to help develop a shared understanding of their emotions and the challenges they are facing. Whilst maintaining confidentiality, I work alongside parents, caregivers and schools to support the child or young person as best we can. Parents and caregivers are part of assessments and reviews

About Me

I am a qualified and fully accredited Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (UKCP), with experience supporting children and young people aged 4–19 in schools, sixth form colleges and charitable organisations. I can see counselling clients in-person (based in Cambridge, UK) or online via Zoom.

Knowing and valuing each individual, and, in turn, those children or young people feeling known and valued, has always been a priority for me. Both from my own personal experience, and through my work in schools and charities, I recognise how overwhelming it can be as a young person to talk about your feelings and how opening up can feel scary and very vulnerable. I focus on working alongside my clients to create strong therapeutic relationships and a sense of safety within the counselling work, such that the young people I work with know they will not be judged for their thoughts, feelings or behaviour, but be cared for with empathy and a genuine curiosity for who they are and how it feels to be them.
