Info for children and teens

Counselling for Kids

Coming to see me means having a safe and fun space where you can be yourself. Sometimes kids have big feelings or worries — like things happening at school, stuff with friends or brothers and sisters, changes at home, or things that just feel hard inside.

You don’t have to explain everything with words. In our sessions, you get to choose how we work — we might:

Play with toys

Draw or paint

Use stories or puppets

Talk when you feel ready

Try calming and feeling-better tools


Play and creativity help your feelings feel safe. While we play and talk, I help you learn ways to understand your emotions, feel calmer, and solve problems. There is no right or wrong way — this is your space and your time.

My job is to listen, support you, and help you feel strong and confident in yourself. And yes — we can have fun while we do it!

Counselling for Teens

Seeing a counsellor is a chance to talk to someone who listens, understands, and doesn’t judge. Life as a teenager can feel intense — friendships, school, family stuff, stress, big emotions, and figuring out who you are can all get overwhelming at times.

In our sessions, you’ll have a space where you can be honest, take a breath, and just be yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out — we can explore things together, at your pace.

You get to choose how we work. We can:

Talk about what’s happening for you

Work through emotions and stress

Use creative tools if you like (art, journaling, music, movement)

Learn strategies to help you feel calmer and more in control

Build confidence, resilience, and self-understanding


This is your space — there’s no pressure and no right or wrong way to be here. My job is to support you, help you make sense of things, and walk alongside you as you work out who you are and what you need.

You deserve a place where you feel safe, heard, and respected — and that’s what I’m here to give you.

Counselling for Neurodivergent kids

If you’re neurodivergent, you already see and experience the world in a unique way — and that’s something to honour, not “fix.”

Counselling with me isn’t about changing who you are.
It’s about understanding yourself, feeling safe to be you, and learning ways to navigate the world that actually work for your brain, body, and emotions.

In our sessions, you get to:

Show up exactly as you are — no masking needed

Share your feelings, thoughts, interests, and challenges at your pace

Use communication that suits you (talking, writing, drawing, fidgeting, silence — whatever feels right)

Explore emotions, sensory needs, and stress in a way that makes sense to you

Build tools to support emotional regulation, confidence, and self-acceptance

Discover strategies that fit your brain, not someone else's expectations


We might:

Use art, music, movement, sensory tools, or creativity

Talk about friendships, school, identity, masking, burnout, or anxiety

Learn ways to manage overwhelm and big emotions

Explore routines, rest, and ways to protect your energy

Celebrate the strengths that come with your neurotype


You don’t need to sit still, make eye contact, talk in full sentences, or “get everything right.”
You don’t need to hide the parts of you that feel different.

This is a space where your brain is welcome, your feelings are valid, and your needs matter. My job isn’t to change you — it’s to support you being you, confidently and safely.

Support for LGBTQIA+ Teens

If you're exploring your identity, questioning who you are, or trying to understand your feelings about gender, sexuality, or relationships — you are welcome here.

Being a teenager can already feel big and confusing at times. When you're also figuring out your identity, it can feel even more overwhelming — especially if you're not sure who it's safe to talk to, or if you feel misunderstood, judged, or alone.

This is a space where you can:

Be yourself without pressure or expectation

Explore your feelings, identity, and experiences at your pace

Talk about friendships, relationships, and family dynamics

Build confidence in who you are

Learn tools to cope with stress, anxiety, or big emotions

Feel supported and respected — no assumptions, no judgement


You don’t need to have everything figured out — most people don’t, and that’s okay. Our work together isn’t about telling you who you are; it’s about helping you feel safe enough to explore, understand, and grow into who you want to be.

Your identity, your story, and your voice matter.
You deserve support that honours who you are and gives you room to breathe, learn, and feel proud of yourself.
