Children and teens react to stress or trauma in a variety of ways. School grades might drop. The child could procrastinate, have memory problems, or become distracted, self-critical, perfectionist, irritable, depressed, anxious, or violent. They might sleep too much or too little, have headaches or stomach problems, disordered eating, panic attacks or develop habits like hair-pulling or biting their nails. Teens might be sullen and uncommunicative and turn to potentially addictive behaviours like drinking or drugs, video games or pornography, to manage their stress. They may also turn to influencers and may take on new and disturbing belief systems.
If the child or teen is worried about their own behaviour or ability to manage complex situations, and is looking for help, then therapy offers a chance to learn more appropriate coping skills to use in daily life.
At the first session, I will listen to your concerns and those of your child to get an overview of the situation. For younger kids, it is often not necessary to explain in detail that they are going for "therapy." You could simply say that they will be having a relaxed and quiet time in which they will listen to stories and use their imagination to solve their problems.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
My aimis to create a protected space where teens (over 13) can explore whatever is going on for them, without feeling judged or that they are expected to perform in some way. I combine clinical experience with with meditation and mindfulness to give the young people I work with something special, the opportunity to find their own sense of direction in the company of a supportive ally, eliminating that which is no longer relevant in their lives while developing new strengths.

Southend-on-Sea is a large coastal town in Essex on the Thames Estuary, where mental health demand reflects a mix of seaside resort identity and significant areas of socioeconomic deprivation, with some inner-town neighbourhoods ranking among the most deprived in the East of England. NHS Talking Therapies services are available through the local trust, though wait times can be long, and a private therapy sector serves those who can access it. The town draws both long-term residents and London commuters, and the pressures of local employment challenges alongside the demands of commuter life shape the kinds of concerns people bring to therapy. Private practitioners are also available in neighbouring Leigh-on-Sea and Westcliff-on-Sea for those seeking faster access.
