My approach with adolescents is relational, and tailored to their unique stage of development. I aim to create a space where young people feel safe enough to be themselves, without fear of judgement, pressure, or having to find the right words. 

While the therapeutic relationship remains at the heart of the work, I recognise that teenagers do not exist in isolation. Where it is in the young person's best interests, I may involve parents or caregivers in parts of the process to help strengthen understanding, improve communication, and create the support needed beyond the therapy room. The adolescent's privacy and confidentiality are always respected and discussed openly throughout this process.

I work at a pace that feels manageable and safe, drawing on conversation, creative and experiential approaches, and body-based awareness to help young people express and make sense of what may be difficult to put into words. Whether they are struggling with anxiety, low mood, school pressures, identity questions, family difficulties, trauma, an eating disorder, or the impact of challenging life experiences, my aim is to offer a steady, supportive relationship from which growth, understanding, and change can emerge.
