Counselling for young people and families

I have provided counselling to young people and parents in a variety of contexts including behavioural issues causing conflict at home, school or both.  I have extensive experience as a Head of Year in comprehensive schools in Inner London and Hampshire and in dealing with students who have been or who are facing permanent exclusion.

I have also dealt with young people who are experiencing a range of difficult situations, such as abuse, pregnancy, compulsive behaviour including eating disorders etc and have built up a network of expert contacts that can be called upon when a specialist needs to become involved.

I have worked with students and parents trying to come to terms with the realities of traumatic events and the effects these have on the family.  I am experienced in representing the needs of students by liaising with schools and visiting home in order to build the links needed to help manage situations effectively.
