We are integrative counsellors with a wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with young people and the particular problems and difficulties they encounter in their lives. We use a combination of Person Centred, CBT and transference techniques. We also use Art Therapy, Writing Therapy and relaxation techniques.
We have a close affinity with young people and are passionate about the value of early intervention as teenagers grow and develop into adulthood. We have worked with adopted and damaged children from primary school age upwards and have been able to experience the social care system at first hand.
Whilst our work is challenging, the rewards are immense and it is a huge privilege to journey alongside people as they face pain and frustration and to share in their joy as they grow in confidence and adopt more positive attitudes to life.
We are fully aware of the impact on family life the teenage years can have. We are experienced in running workshops to groups of young people on a number of challenges they may face as well as running parenting classes using the Teen Triple P model.
We are members of the BACP and work strictly in accordance with their Ethical Framework. We also adhere to the Local Authority guidelines on Safeguarding.
