Counselling for Children & Young People
I offer counselling, coaching and mentoring for children and young people aged 12 to 17 years online.
How can counselling and coaching help?
If you are 12 to 17 years old and grappling with issues like self image, family and peer relationships, academic pressure, home or school expectations of compliance, low mood, excessive anxiety, role confusion, identity and others, you would probably benefit from talking with a counsellor.
As a teenager you might feel you lack agency and your voice is not heard. In the counselling space you are welcome to explore your issues and feelings without fear of judgement. Maybe you feel you do have agency and voice but could use some help to utilise them in a constructive way.
A counsellor / coach / mentor can help you explore the sources of your difficulties and identify tools and strategies that could help.
Sometimes it can be helpful to include parents/carers in sessions either separately or together with the young person or both. This is always in consultation with and agreement of the young person.
For counselling to have a positive effect, the decision to engage in counselling must lie with the young person.
Supporting young people
I aim to support pre-teens and teenagers with exploring anxiety, stress, relationships with family or friends, identity issues... whatever you are finding dificult, finding tools and strategies to cope, to make change and to feel better. Some young people find it easier to talk with the help of tools and prompts so I utilise these whenever it is appropriate.
I draw on my empathy, my training, my professional experience in the UK and around the world and my personal experience as a child, a young person, a parent and grandparent to help me connect with the young person I am working with regardless of culture, religion, gender, sexuality, or any label either self assigned or assigned by others.
Online counselling for 12-17 year olds is £45 per 50 minute session for daytime appointments and £60 for appointments from 4pm onwards, after a no obligation free introductory sesssion. Sessions are booked and paid in advance for blocks of 4.
Get in touch
If you are the parent/carer of a teenager who could benefit from counselling / coaching, you are welcome to contact me to decide whether you would like to book an introductory session for your child/young person.
