Counselling for Young People in Loughborough
Growing up brings real pressures. I offer counselling for young people aged 16 and over in Loughborough — a confidential, non-judgemental space to talk, in person, online or by telephone.
Supporting young people (16+)
The teenage and young-adult years can be a lot to navigate — exams and study stress, friendships and relationships, family changes, low mood, anxiety, self-esteem and working out who you are. Counselling offers a space that’s just for you, away from the pressure to have it all figured out. I work with young people aged 16 and over, as well as adults.
How counselling helps
We go at your pace — there’s no pressure to talk about anything you’re not ready to. Having someone outside your family and friends to talk to, who won’t judge, can help you feel heard, understand what’s going on, and find ways to cope.
My approach
I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist (MSc, MBACP), so I adapt how I work to suit you — drawing on CBT, Person-Centred and Attachment-based approaches — and aim to make counselling feel relaxed and age-appropriate.
Ways we can work together
In person
Face-to-face sessions in Loughborough, Leicestershire.
Online
Video sessions by Skype or video call, wherever you are.
By telephone
Telephone counselling if that feels more comfortable.
Common questions
What age do you work with?
I work with young people aged 16 and over, as well as adults. For under-16s I’d suggest a counsellor who specialises in working with children.
Is it confidential — will you tell my parents?
What you share is confidential, within the usual professional and ethical limits of the BACP framework. I’ll explain exactly how confidentiality works at our first session so you know where you stand.
What if I don’t know what to say?
That’s completely normal and absolutely fine. There’s no script — we start wherever feels comfortable and I help guide things.
