teens deserve to feel like they belong

therapeutic services

As the parent of a neurodivergent teenager, you’re trying so hard to help them feel confident and comfortable. Perhaps, they have had some difficult experiences at school or in life generally which have led them to go inwards and shut down.

I provide therapeutic mentoring for teens aged 13 and up. Mentoring is structured and goal-focused work that identifies and supports a teens’ main worries or concerns.

mentoring FAQs

Working in a neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed way, I slow the pace of therapeutic work with teens right down to prioritise building trust and safety. I recommend teens have at least 12 sessions, with the option for an extended timeframe.

I support teens struggling with:

I offer parents a 30-minute initial assessment call, to build an understanding of what kind of support your teen needs. This is also a chance for you to get to know me, and ask any questions.
