Areas of support

How I Support Children, Adolescents, Young People (under 24 years old), and Families

 

Families turn to me for support with a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges (listed below). I also receive referrals from centres, school SENCOs, and other mental health professionals. Where appropriate—and always with consent—I collaborate closely with these professionals to ensure a joined-up approach to care.

 

Some children and adolescents benefit from just a few sessions during times of transition, such as starting a new school or preparing to leave for university. Others may need longer-term treatment. I also work closely with parents to help them understand what kind of support is most suitable for their child and family. Together, we explore practical strategies and tailored approaches.

 

Areas I work with include:

 

Anxiety

 

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

 

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

 

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

 

Relationship difficulties (family, siblings, friendships)

 

School-based challenges (concentration, academic pressure, bullying)

 

Low self-esteem

 

Depression

 

Suicidal thoughts

 

Emotional outbursts and regulation

 

Behavioural difficulties

 

Identity development

 

Relational trauma

 

Enuresis (bedwetting)
