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.
