Child Therapy: A Space to Grow
Welcome to a calm and safe therapeutic space designed specifically for children and teens. We use creative, playful, and age-appropriate methods to help young clients express themselves, process difficult emotions, and build the resilience they need to thrive.

What Can Child Therapy Help With?
Creative Online Therapy
Children don't always have the words to explain how they feel. Difficult emotions can sometimes appear as worries, anger, withdrawal, changes in behaviour or problems at school.
Child therapy provides a safe, supportive space where children can explore their feelings, understand their experiences and develop healthier ways of coping.
Through talking, play and creative activities, children can begin to make sense of what is happening for them. Therapy can help them build emotional awareness, confidence and practical coping skills. Over time, this can help children feel more able to manage difficult emotions and everyday challenges.
Children come to counselling for many different reasons, and they don't need to have a diagnosis.
We support children experiencing:
-
Anxiety, worries and fears
-
Low confidence and self-esteem
-
Anger and difficult emotions
-
Friendship difficulties and bullying
-
School anxiety and stress
-
Family separation and change
-
Bereavement and loss
-
Emotional and behavioural difficulties
-
ADHD and neurodivergence-related challenges
Sometimes parents simply know that their child isn't quite themselves. We can begin there.
Online therapy doesn't mean expecting a child to sit in front of a screen and talk for the entire session.
Depending on your child's age and needs, sessions can include drawing, storytelling, games, creative activities and imaginative ways of exploring thoughts and feelings. This allows children to communicate in ways that can feel more natural than talking alone.
Sessions are tailored to your child’s interests, personality and preferred way of communicating. Our virtual playroom can also be used to make sessions engaging and interactive. The aim is to create an online space where children feel comfortable expressing themselves, while developing confidence and emotional understanding.

Is Online Therapy Right For My Child?
Our Virtual Playroom
Our virtual playroom brings creativity and play into the online therapeutic space.
Children can use interactive activities, characters, stories and games to explore their experiences and emotions. Some children find it much easier to talk while they're creating or playing, particularly when feelings are difficult to put into words.
There is no expectation that your child will arrive knowing what to say. We begin where they are.
Working With Parents
Parents and carers are an important part of the process. We usually begin with a parent consultation so that I can understand your concerns and learn more about your child's circumstances.
Once counselling begins, I balance appropriate parental involvement with your child's need for a private therapeutic space, while always maintaining my safeguarding responsibilities.
Is Online Child Therapy Right for My Child?
Online therapy can work very well for many children, particularly when they enjoy engaging creatively with technology and appreciate being in their own familiar environment.
However, it isn't suitable for every child or every situation. Your child's age, needs and circumstances will all be considered before we begin.
If you're concerned about your child, get in touch and we can talk about whether online counselling could be the right support for them.
What to Expect in Our Sessions
We focus on creating a gentle, creative environment where young minds feel safe to share. Sessions typically involve a blend of talk, play, and artistic expression tailored to your child's age and comfort level. Our goal is to foster a safe space for growth and emotional discovery, ensuring that every therapeutic journey is as unique as the child themselves.
