Supporting Young People Through Life’s Challenges

Guiding Adolescents Toward Confidence and Resilience

Adolescence is a time of significant change — filled with new experiences, shifting emotions, and important life transitions.

It’s natural for young people to face challenges as they navigate this stage, and the right support can make all the difference in shaping their emotional wellbeing for the future.

Common Areas of Support

Therapy can help young people with a wide range of concerns, including:

Managing emotions and moods

Anxiety, stress, or depression
Body image and eating habits
Risk-taking behaviours and decision making
Friendship and social challenges
Family disagreements and communication issues
School performance and academic pressure
Exploring gender and sexual identity
Adjusting to new or difficult life circumstances
Building confidence and self-esteem

My Approach

With years of experience supporting children and adolescents in private practice, I create a relaxed and understanding environment where young people feel safe to express themselves.
Therapy sessions are collaborative and transparent, encouraging trust, openness, and self-awareness.

Each session focuses on building:

Resilience to face life’s challenges with confidence
Healthy emotional regulation to navigate big feelings
Practical coping tools to manage stress and uncertainty
Positive self-identity and improved self-esteem

What brings me joy is witnessing the quiet turning points when someone finds words for what they have carried, breathes a little easier, or reconnects with a sense of possibility. That is why I do this work.

I’m a counsellor with more than 25 years of practice. I blend my social work background with a warm, practical style. My sessions are tailored and draw on EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, ACT, solution focused strategies, and hypnotherapy. My focus is on trauma recovery and emotional wellbeing, with the belief that people can grow and live with greater ease given the right support.
