Counselling Services Offered

Supporting children and young people with mental health challenges in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Who I Work With

I provide counselling and therapeutic support for:

Children and young people (ages 7–18)
Care-experienced children living in residential or foster care
Young people struggling with trauma, anxiety, grief, or attachment challenges
Neurodiverse children (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, sensory processing)
Adults seeking a calm, confidential space to work through emotional difficulties

How Sessions Work

Child-Led & Creative – sessions may use play, drawing, games, or sandtray therapy to help children express feelings safely
Safe & Confidential – everything we talk about is private, except where safeguarding law requires me to share concerns
Flexible & Supportive – sessions can focus on what is most urgent or important that day, whether that’s feelings, behaviour, or a specific event

Areas I Support

Anxiety, low mood, and stress
Trauma and post-traumatic experiences
Bereavement, grief, and loss
Emotional regulation and self-esteem
Relationship difficulties, including peer conflict and bullying

Working with Professionals

I work closely with schools, social workers, and residential care teams to support each young person’s care plan.

Where needed, I can offer input into staff approaches, behaviour plans, and emotional regulation strategies

Children are seated at a table in a classroom, engaged in drawing and coloring activities. A boy in a green shirt is in focus, concentrating on his work. Other children are focused on their own projects, with art supplies scattered on the table.
