Child Therapy & Teenage Counselling with Chambers of Change, offers children and young people a safe, steady space to explore their emotions, build resilience, and make sense of their world in a way that feels natural, gentle, and developmentally appropriate.

 

 

My approach is creative, adaptable and grounded in years of experience supporting young people through emotional, behavioural, relational, and life‑based challenges.

 

 Why Children and Young People Come to Therapy

Young people seek support for many reasons. They might be:

Struggling with anxiety, worry, or panic

Feeling low, withdrawn, or overwhelmed

Experiencing anger, frustration, or emotional outbursts

Navigating friendship or relationship difficulties

Coping with family changes, separation, or conflict

Processing grief or loss

Managing school‑based stress or pressure

Feeling confused about their identity or place in the world

Recovering from trauma or difficult experiences

Struggling with confidence, self‑esteem, or self‑expression

 

Therapy gives them a space where they can be honest, expressive, and supported

Without fear of judgement

 

 Creative, Flexible, Developmentally Attuned Approach

Children and teenagers communicate in many different ways

Through words, yes

But also through play, movement, creativity, metaphor, and imagination

Because of this, every session is tailored to their ever‑changing needs

 

This means that one week we might be:

sitting face‑to‑face and talking

drawing, painting, or building something together

exploring a story or metaphor

using toys, props, or creative materials

 

And the next week we might be:

playing catch with a ball

using movement or rhythm

grounding through sensory activities

exploring imaginative worlds

working online in ways that feel safe and engaging

 

 

Whether sessions are in person or online, we can experiment with different ways of connecting

Gently reducing the scariness of opening up

Our imagination is the only limit.

 

The goal is never to force a child to “talk about it”

The goal is to create a connection within our space where expression becomes possible in whatever form feels safe and comfortable

I work in a way that is:

Trauma‑informed - safety, pacing, and emotional regulation come first

Child‑centred - their voice, autonomy, and comfort guide the process

Creative - using imagination, play, and story when helpful

Relational - building trust through warmth, consistency, and attunement

System‑aware - understanding the pressures of school, family, and wider systems

Flexible - adapting sessions to the child’s age, needs, and personality

 

Young people deserve a space where they feel seen, heard, and understood.

That’s what I aim to offer.
