Help Your Child Thrive — Even With Big Emotions Like Fear, Anxiety, or Overwhelm

As a parent/ Carer, watching your child struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional regulation, or simply feeling like they’re not coping can be heart-breaking. You want to help, but sometimes it’s hard to know how.

That’s where I come in.

I’m an Occupational Therapist and coach with a deep understanding of child development and mental health. I consider the full picture: your child’s nervous system, emotional and sensory needs, trauma history, neurodivergence, identity, and other lived experiences — including LGBTQIA+ and cultural factors.

I offer 1:1 coaching sessions that gently support children and teens to:

• Build their own unique toolkit with tried and tested coping strategies and an action plan to continue beyond therapy sessions.
• Learn practical, evidence-based coping strategies
• Reconnect with the things that bring them joy
• Develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their emotional and sensory experiences within

My Approach: Empowering, Trauma-Informed & Inclusive

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — a kind, evidence-based approach that supports young people to:

• Understand their emotions without being overwhelmed by them

• “Walk with fear” instead of avoiding the things they love or even shutting down from the world they once loved

• Strengthen self-awareness and values-based motivation

• Take small, meaningful steps toward what matters to them

• Build skills in areas such as emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-compassion

This isn’t therapy in the traditional sense. It’s practical, empowering, and forward-focused support — grounded in empathy, science, and strategies that truly work.

Why Parents/Carers Work With Me

You want the best for your child, but you may feel unsure how to guide them through this. I understand that deeply, and I’m here to help.

As an OT, I bring clinical knowledge and years of experience in child development and emotional wellbeing. As a coach, I bring compassion, inclusivity, and a strengths-based lens that honours your child’s unique identity and needs.

I work in partnership with both child and parent, offering:

• A warm, non-judgmental space
• Check-ins and collaboration with you
• Tools your child can use in everyday life — at home, school, and in their community

Together, we’ll support your child in building confidence, emotional safety, and the ability to show up for life.... even when fear is present.

Ready to Support Your Child?

Let’s talk. Book a free 15-minute consultation to see how I can support your child on their journey back to themselves — and toward the life they deserve.

Additionally book a one off 30 minute coaching call with me and your child present. This is great so your child can decide if they think I'm the right fit. The free consultation call can be used to plan for this. We can meet in person if local or online. It's that easy :)
