Therapeutic Counselling Using the ARTs

Hello and welcome to my website. On the following pages you will find out more about what I do and the services I offer.

I specialise in therapeutic counselling for adolescents aged 11–23. I have been working with young people as a teacher since 1976 and as a therapeutic counsellor in schools since April 2009. I have completed my training in integrative arts psychotherapy at the Institute of Arts in Therapy and Education. My professional title is “therapeutic counsellor for adolescents using the ARTs”.

Too often teenagers have a bad press. Yes they can be troublesome for adults, but often in these cases they are just simply troubled. I love working with them and find them easy to engage with and to support.

I work with all teenagers and those who have experienced serious developmental trauma or who suffer from conditions such as Asperger’s, ADHD and OCD, or have other educational needs or simply need help in order to get through difficult times in their lives. Often teenagers find it easier to talk to a stranger than to members of their own family.

I hope you find the information you need.
