Teens, Children Young People
I have been counselling children, young people and teenagers since 1999. I can provide talking therapy or creative/art therapy. I work with children and young people who present with concerns such as:
Exam stress
Low self esteem
Anxiety or are worried
Transgender or sexuality
Feeling like’ not fitting in’
Parental or family death /loss
Bullying at school or college
Parental divorce or separation
Where to begin?
When I work with children or young people, it is often the parents who telephones to see if I can work with them.
I usually arrange to speak to the parent/carer, then arrange for the child or young person to speak myself with the parent/carer present.
Only if the child or young person to work with me, is an appointment with the child or young person booked.
What young people have said
I didn’t think I could talk to someone aged fifty-six about my problems, but I could.

Joanne is warm, friendly and funny, so easy to talk to, she listened and helped me feel more confident about myself.
