February 2024 Update:
Thank you for visiting my website. I am taking a break from working with children and young people as I have a full practice working with adults currently. So unfortunately if you are looking for a therapist to work with your son or daughter I am not able to help at this time. Best wishes,
Vanessa
Hello,
maybe I can help...
Are you looking for counselling for your child or teen? Are they anxious, worried or low in mood? Perhaps you struggle with their behaviour or want your relationship to be better? This is my specialist area - I help children, young people and parents resolve problems with their feelings and relationships. Parents often ring me, really concerned and wondering what to do for the best. If this is you, read on.....
I have extensive experience in schools, GP settings, NHS CAMHS (11 years) and in private practice. I also have many qualifications which you can read about here. I do appreciate that it can be daunting trying to find a therapist for your child and it is really important to find the right person so for this reason I offer a free introductory chat (up to 15 minutes) so we can get to know each other. And it doesn't commit you to work with me. Please contact me.
