Me and my colleagues see young people or adolescents with a range of issues related to their mood, work/school or relationships. I use a range of skills and therapeutic psychological approaches to create an open therapeutic space which allows a person to reflect on their situation, find ways to express or understand the things going on in their life and to identify and develop new useful skills. In my work with young people I adapt my work to use age appropriate language and ideas. If you are a parent of a young person I may encourage you to come to a first session if the young person would like you there, but at some point I would be looking to meet with the young person on their own. The sessions are confidential, so as a routine I do not speak to parents in between sessions, but there may be opportunity for parents to join us in later sessions if that is deemed helpful and in agreement with the young person. I am enhanced CRB checked.
