Each session is 60 minutes long and tailored to your specific needs. Whether working with children, parents, or adults, I use a strengths-based approach that combines positive psychology and cognitive behavioural techniques. Where appropriate, hypnotherapy may also be used to support relaxation and self-efficacy. Sessions can take place in person or online via a secure video platform.

An initial assessment is the first step in understanding your needs and goals. We’ll discuss your concerns, explore relevant background information, and develop a personalised plan for moving forward. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and ensure that therapy feels like the right fit for you or your child.

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs. Some people benefit from a short-term approach (4-6 sessions), while others may require longer-term support. We will regularly review progress to ensure the sessions are meeting your needs.

This depends on the child’s age and preference. All sessions are tailored to meet the needs and preferences of all parties involved. For younger children, parental involvement is often encouraged to reinforce strategies at home. For teenagers, sessions are usually one-to-one, but feedback and guidance is provided for parents where appropriate and to reinforce strategies at home. Part of your child's plan might involve parental sessions.

It’s important that children feel comfortable and are willing to engage. If your child is unsure, we can start with a gentle introduction to explore their feelings about therapy. You may also wish to book a parent support session first to discuss strategies for encouraging your child to engage.

I specialise in supporting children, teens, and adults with: ✔ Anxiety and excessive worry ✔ Phobias and fears ✔ School-related stress and attendance issues ✔ Perfectionism and low self-esteem ✔ Habit reversal (e.g., nail-biting, hair-pulling) ✔ Stress management and resilience-building

For talking therapy to be effective, your child should be able to: ✔ Understand and talk about their thoughts and feelings (at a basic level) ✔ Engage in discussions and activities that help them develop coping strategies ✔ Feel comfortable working in a one-to-one setting. The minimum recommended age for talking therapy is 10, there are more suitable therapies for younger children. If you're unsure whether therapy is suitable for your child, I recommend booking a free discovery call to discuss their needs and explore the best approach.

Yes, I work with neurodivergent children and teens, including those with autism, ADHD, and other neurodiverse profiles. My approach is individualised and tailored to suit your child's unique needs, strengths, and communication style. I use a strengths-based approach alongside cognitive and behavioural strategies to support anxiety, stress, phobias, and habit reversal. Sessions can be adapted to ensure they are accessible, engaging, and comfortable for your child. If you’d like to discuss whether this would be a good fit, please book a free discovery call, and we can explore the best way forward together.

Therapy isn’t about ‘curing’ or 'fixing' emotions —it’s about learning how to manage them effectively. Anxiety is a normal human response, but when it becomes overwhelming, therapy provides practical tools to reduce its impact and build confidence in handling challenges.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and your feedback is important. If something isn’t working, we can adjust the approach to better suit your needs. If at any point you feel that therapy isn’t right for you, we can discuss alternative options.

You can book a session directly through the Book Online page or contact me if you need further information before scheduling.
