Specialist Counselling for Children & Young People in Derby

I specialise in providing supportive, nurturing, and age-appropriate counselling for children, teenagers, and young people in Derby and surrounding areas.

Growing up can be challenging, and sometimes it’s hard to put feelings into words. I offer a safe, calm space where young people can express themselves freely and feel truly heard.

A Safe & Supportive Environment

My work with children and young people is:

• Gentle and understanding

• Adapted to their age and needs

• Creative and flexible where helpful

• Always led at their pace

I focus on building trust so they feel safe enough to open up in their own time.

What I Can Help With

I support children and young people with:

• Anxiety and worries

• Low mood or sadness

• Self-harm or intrusive thoughts

• School, college, or exam pressures

• Family or friendship difficulties

• Identity, gender, and sexuality

• Low confidence or self-esteem

• Life changes, grief, or trauma

Every young person deserves to feel understood and supported.

An Inclusive & Affirming Space

I am especially passionate about creating a welcoming space for:

• LGBTQ+ young people

• Neurodivergent children and teens (including ADHD and autism)

• Those who feel different or struggle to “fit in”

Your identity and experiences are always respected.

Supporting Young People in Derby & Beyond

I work with families and young people across Derby, Derbyshire, and nearby areas including Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Burton-on-Trent, and Nottingham.
