Supporting Children and Young People in Plymouth and Online

“Promise me you'll always remember: you're braver than you believe and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” - Christopher Robin

What can I help with?​​​

  • Autism/ADHD

  • Self Harm

  • Suicidal Thoughts

  • Traumatic experiences

  • Stress

  • Anxiety/panic attacks

  • Low Self-esteem

  • Depression

  • Grief and bereavement

  • Loss of purpose

  • Loneliness

  • ​Anger

  • Divorce or separation

  • Changes in school or home

  • Exam preparation

  • Bullying/Discrimination

  • School avoidance 

  • Friendship issues

With a late diagnosis of Autism and ADHD myself, and extensive work supporting neurodivergent people, I feel well placed to offer neuro-affirming therapy; whether that is questioning a diagnosis, awaiting a diagnosis, being self-diagnosed or coping after a diagnosis.

Many of the young people I work with are finding life challenging in some way. By giving them a space where they can talk about their experiences freely, they can gain understanding of who they are, and explore how they can communicate with others about their needs and worries more effectively.

I work with children and young people from 10 to 18 years, facing a range of challenges.
