My Approach

I work in a person-centred, integrative way which means that I use a range of counselling and psychotherapy theories to provide a space and approach that will be unique for you or your child. I offer a non-judgemental space for talking, with psychoeducation and creative media (sand, art, games, imagery) so that the therapy is not purely based on talking and words.
I believe that your child should feel safe and at ease when seeing a therapist. I work on building trust and tuning in to your childs' needs, we'll find answers, explanations or hope together. And when words are just out of reach, we'll dip into the therapy kit bag to find a different way of working

About Me

I'm Kay, a Child Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in the Newcastle and North Tyneside area. I work with children and young people and in-person and online (young people aged 14 and over). I've worked with Children and Young People in educational settings, charitable organisations and within a NHS CAMHs service.

I work with

  • Children and young people
  • Individuals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I believe psychotherapy and counselling can provide a safe space for neurodivergent individuals to bring whatever they need without judgement. I support emotional regulation, empathy and understanding, and full acceptance of the amazing neurodivergent brain and all it has to offer. I'm late diagnosed neurodivergent and have supported many adult and child clients navigating life with ADHD / ADD and other neurodivergent diagnoses (inclusive of self-diagnosis)
I offer a specific therapeutic intervention in line with SToPSO recommendations for adults who may be at risk of sexually offending. This is typically offered via online sessions to increase accessibility for clients.
