As a Qualified licensed Child Therapist, and NLP Practitioner based in Newcastle upon Tyne, I work with children and young people to promote positive mental health throughout their lifespans. I am passionate about supporting children from a young age to prevent emotional difficulties from taking root. As an NLP therapist, I work directly with children and young people both individually and in groups. I also work directly with parents as a parenting coach.

I am an experienced child care professional who has worked for over 20 years with children who have experienced trauma. My background is as a qualified social worker specialising in children's social work, systemic social work, and therapeutic support for families. My passion is working with children and families to promote positive mental health through the lifespan.

We need to start addressing children's difficulties at an earlier point in order to allow them to experience happy childhoods full of opportunity and growth. NLP4kids therapy techniques have been adapted from proven NLP techniques to work brilliantly with younger people. This makes the sessions fun and engaging. We don't spend time dwelling on the problem; as soon as we know what the problem is, we immediately begin to focus on the solution instead. NLP is fast-working and effective, so typically you are need fewer sessions than you would with traditional counselling or psychotherapy. Most problems can be dealt with in 4-8 sessions, sometimes even less if the problem is quite specific. We use practical, interactive techniques so that when the work is finished the child has developed an internal tool-kit full of ways to manage their own emotions. This is why NLP therapy is really beneficial to promote long term, even life long, change. Are your child's difficulties are holding them back?
