Neurodivergent Child, Young People and Families.

I offer a warm and welcoming counselling service supporting children, young people and parents through challenging times . I have 30 years experience working with children in various settings including education,NHS,  counselling therapy and bringing my own three children up. Some of the areas I specialise in include supporting Neurodivergent challenges, anger management, bereavement, bullying , anxiety and attachment issues. Talking to a therapist maybe the only time you or your child will really get to reflect and gain perspective. I provide a free initial phone consultation service. 

My formal training is Person Centred Counselling however I use many approaches including creativity, sand tray therapy, CBT.

I am happy to see your child with parents present or without. It’s helpful if parents are involved on the first appointment.

Look forward to hearing from you. 

My practice is on Stanhope Rd South Darlington however I am happy to visit homes or alternatively face time online. 

Expect a warm friendly welcome. The room is colourful and child friendly with lots of interactive activities. 

First session is an introduction to provide you with   information about counselling therapy and  to meet yourself and your child. It’s is so important that I develop a good relationship by using activities or talking about their interests and what they wish to gain from counselling therapy.
