They need a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment to express themselves and feel understood. Their goals might include improving emotional regulation, building healthy relationships, and enhancing their overall well-being. If they are seeking therapy for guidance and support in navigating life's challenges then theyre in the right place.

Hello, I am glad you have found me and made your first step towards therapy! An inspiring quote by Dalai Lama once said, “Calm minds bring inner peace and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health”. This resonates with me because our mental health is incredibly important to our well-being and our perceptions of the world we live in. I know that searching for a counsellor can be unnerving especially when you may feel overawed with angst or tension; despondent, grieving or struggling with relationship disputes. I recognise how that feels and the complications that may follow.

Seeing your child or a young person close to you struggle can be emotionally draining and challenging at times, especially when access to public mental health services is limited.
Hi, my name is Klaudia. I am a counsellor specialising in working with children and adolescents. I have been providing counselling via various charities and in primary and secondary schools. I am passionate about listening to and empowering young people to work over any issues such as anxiety, bullying, stress, self-harm and low self-confidence because I have seen how these issues impact young people's learning, well-being and relationships with others. Before qualifying with Masters in Counselling, I worked as a secondary school teacher which gave me invaluable insight into the challenges children face in the school system.

It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; and that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy or distressed. Due to stigma; people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access counselling whenever you need to. My background is in working with abuse survivors; adults and children; and those who have experienced trauma. As a result I work with depression, low self esteem, shame, loneliness, hopelessness, grief & loss, anger, self harm and suicidal feelings as well as a broad range of other factors and experiences clients bring to their sessions.
