Counselling & Therapy For Children & Young People on the Wirral
I offer a supportive space where young people can talk freely, feel listened to and begin to understand what they may be experiencing.
Young people may come to counselling for many different reasons. This might include anxiety, low mood, school pressures, family difficulties, questions around identity or experiences that have been difficult to process.
Sometimes they may simply feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure how to put their feelings into words. Therapy can help them explore these feelings and make sense of what is going on for them.
A safe space to explore
A key part of my work with young people is building a strong and trusting relationship. Through my experience of working with children and adolescents, I understand how important it is for young people to feel safe, respected, and comfortable before they can begin to open up.
Creating this foundation allows them to express themselves honestly and explore their thoughts and emotions in a supportive environment.
My approach is flexible and led by the young person. Depending on their needs, I may draw on different therapeutic approaches. This can include introducing elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help with anxious thoughts or worries, as well as psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences or relationships may be influencing how they feel today.
Sessions always move at a pace that feels right for the young person.
While some young people prefer to talk, others may find it easier to express themselves through creative or visual activities. I aim to adapt sessions in ways that feel comfortable and engaging for them.
Sessions are available face-to-face in Wallasey or Bromborough, as well as online for those who may prefer that option.
If you are a young person, or a parent or carer seeking support, you are welcome to get in touch to discuss whether therapy might be helpful.
