Integrative creative therapies for children and adolescents aged 5 - 21

​Hi, I'm Frances, a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor in Cambridgeshire.
I provide a safe and confidential space for young people of all ages to explore their feelings, experiences and identity.
​
My training is specialist to working with young people, meaning I have the tools to engage with children and adolescents in a meaningful relationship, and have a deep understanding of stages of physical and cognitive development as young people grow up. Whether your child is struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood or adverse traumatic experiences, I am here to listen to their story and help them make sense of what they are going through.
As well as providing a space to talk and be listened to and heard, I work with play and the arts to tap into different ways of communication and expression. My practice is well-equipped with therapeutic tools for using art, clay, drama, puppets, sand tray work and more.
​
I carefully consider how different perspectives may be used to help your child understand their emotional experiences, and bring these together in a coherent framework for counselling tailored to your child's needs. I base my interventions on evidence-based research and integrate different theories into my work with each unique young person.
