Online Child Counselling
Are you worried about your child?
Sometimes a child or young person needs their own space – one that’s confidential, safe, and supportive – to explore what they’re feeling, build emotional awareness, and find new ways to navigate relationships and challenges.
Not all children feel comfortable with traditional talk therapy. That’s why I integrate video games, digital sandtrays, and other creative platforms into my practice – so young people can express themselves in ways that feel familiar, accessible, and engaging. I also offer real-time text counselling, voice or video calls, and phone-based sessions, which can be particularly helpful for children who are anxious about video or in-person conversations.
I love what I do, and for over a decade I’ve been developing approaches that meet young people where they are. I work at a deep level, helping children understand what’s going on inside and around them, and supporting them to find their own way forward. I offer a confidential space where they can share what’s on their mind, make sense of their experiences, and – when they’re ready – find ways to communicate those feelings with the important people in their lives, like you.
My relationship with the child or young person is central to the work, and so is my relationship with you as their parent or carer. I usually offer an initial session with both you and your child so we can agree together how we’ll work. If it feels more comfortable, I can meet with you separately at first.
I also offer optional review sessions, where appropriate, to give your child the chance to reflect on their progress and share it with you, in a way that feels empowering and supportive.
How I work creatively with children

Some children and young people prefer to express themselves through text chat. Text messaging is a medium via which they often feel much more comfortable communicating.
