Therapy for Children, Young People & Parents

Compassionate. Collaborative.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step — whether it’s for your child, your teenager, or yourself as a parent.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and human. Therapy is not about “fixing” anyone. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface and creating space for growth, safety, and change.

What Therapy Can Support With

  • Anxiety and worries
  • Emotional regulation 
  • Emotion bases school difficulties
  • Low mood
  • Self-esteem
  • Neurodivergence-related challenges
  • Family stress and conflict
  • Parenting support

Therapy may involve individual sessions with a child or young person, parent-only sessions, or joint sessions where helpful.

Session Formats & Fees

Post diagnostic support is available for:

  • Online sessions: £120 per session
  • In-person sessions in Hertfordshire: £120 per session

We can discuss which format feels most comfortable and accessible for you.

A Collaborative Proces

There is no fixed number of sessions. We will plan this together, based on your goals and needs. Some families benefit from short-term focused work; others prefer longer-term support.

If you would like to explore whether we are a good fit, you are very welcome to get in touch via email. I’m happy to answer questions and talk through what you’re looking for before making any decisions.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

How I Work

My practice integrates evidence-based approaches, tailored to the developmental needs of each child, young person, or parent.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Helping young people understand the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — and develop practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Supporting children and parents to build psychological flexibility — learning how to handle difficult thoughts and emotions while moving towards what truly matters.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

Reducing shame and self-criticism by strengthening self-compassion and emotional regulation skills. Particularly helpful where there has been anxiety, trauma, or low self-esteem.

Trauma-Informed Practice

Recognising that behaviour often reflects nervous system overwhelm. Sessions prioritise safety, regulation, and trust.

Narrative Therapy

Helping children and families separate themselves from problems (“the anxiety is not you”) and re-author their stories in empowering ways.

Every approach is adapted to be developmentally appropriate, neuroaffirmative where relevant, and grounded in current psychological research.

Who I Support

I offer individualised support for:

Children and young people - post diagnostic support and therapy

Post-diagnostic therapy and guidance to help young people understand themselves, their neurodivergence, and how to thrive in the world.

Adults - post diagnostic support and therapy

Post-diagnostic support for neurodivergent adults, helping with the transition, self-advocacy, and well-being in personal and professional settings.

Parents and
Caregivers

Consultations tailored to you to help you understand neurodiversity, strengthen your relationship with your child, and empower you with strategies to support their development.
