(EBSA - Emotional Based School Avoidance) Background: "I love working with Children & Young people. A special part of my working life has been in a specialist education setting for young people who for whatever reason are not school shaped, through no fault of their own. I understand that at times young people can feel forgotten and wholly abandoned by a broken system, but also by other varying services. I have experience working with a range of needs, such as; Anxiety, Depression, Autism, ADHD, Substance Misuse, Trauma, Attachment Disorders and Suicidal Ideation. I believe in play with a purpose, having fun while building positive relationships. From experience when people feel safe, and have a trusting relationship within the right environment, it becomes easier to talk about the things weighing heavy on their minds. I believe that Counselling is a special opportunity for a person to be given time and space, being able to put the outside world to one side and focus on what is important, and that is you... As a counsellor I will journey alongside you offering support and a listening ear, which is non-judgemental, helping unpack whatever feels heavy and heartfelt." |
