​

"I have been a Child & Adolescent Counsellor, since 2007, working with Young People from a number of Primary & Secondary Educational Settings including Several Private and Mainstream/State Schools in East Sussex and London 

I also work with teenagers & adolescents from Local Colleges"

​

" I support children who are  have Special Educational Needs, working within a Multi-Disciplinary Teams, ensuring a Holistic approach,
so that all the needs of the child are met. 

Furthermore; many of the children that I have worked with are not in full-time education and receive home tuition, or attend Learning Centers due to adverse bullying and childhood Trauma - this in itself may be at the crux of the therapy

"Some Children are simply unable to  attend and learn within a school environment as a direct result of their developmental trauma"

​

​

"Working with Children & Young People is an Utter Privilege"

​

"There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a child leave the Counselling Service with a new found confidence and resilience

Witnessing families re-connect and repair strained / broken relationships is simply beautiful.

To see a Young Person full of hope for the future rather than wanting to end their life is an unbeatable feeling that I'm unable to put into words.
