Creative and compassionate support to help your child thrive.

and I’m passionate about supporting children, young people and their families as they navigate life’s big feelings, changes and challenges.
Hi I'm Clare
Sometimes life and the changes it can bring can feel overwhelming for children, especially when they don’t yet have the words to express their feelings. Through creativity, connection, and curiosity, art therapy provides a safe space to explore emotions, build understanding, and support emotional wellbeing.
Whether you're seeking support for your child, a young person, or yourself, finding the right therapist is an important step.
I can help with:Grief and bereavement
life transitions and change
Neurodiversity including adhd and autism
bullying, friendships and issues at school
low mood and depression
self-esteem and confidence
anxiety and overwhelm
ACES and trauma
Who I work with:children
An age-appropriate space to explore feelings, experiences and challenges, at their own pace.
teens
A space to talk openly, feel understood and work through the challenges of growing up.
young adults
Support through the transition into adulthood, identity, relationships, change and finding your way.
If you've noticed that your child is struggling, it can be difficult to know what to do next, or even know whether therapy is the right step.
A free consultation gives us the opportunity to talk about your concerns, understand what's happening for your child, and explore whether working together could be helpful.
You know your child best

decide together
A space to feel comfortable, understood and at ease.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, particularly for a child or young person who may already feel unsure about what to expect.
I've created a calm, welcoming space where children and young people can feel safe to be themselves, talk openly and explore things at their own pace. Whether you're a parent wondering what the space will be like, or a young person preparing for your first session, I want you to feel familiar and comfortable before you arrive.
