What I offer
How I work with you
Counselling for families, partnership work with schools and live training for practitioners. Four entry points to the same warm, steady, expert support.
For parents and families
Parents & Families Counselling
Individual counselling to help you tackle the obstacles school avoidance brings into your home. We work through the feelings it raises and build practical strategies that bring calm back to the morning. From there, we set realistic goals around supporting your child back to school or onto an alternative pathway.
ExploreFor tweens and teens
Young People / Students
Support designed to meet your teen where they are. We start with a free 20-minute online meet and greet so they can get a feel for the space. From there, support may include guided journal sessions through the Navigating School Can't workbook. It may also include one-on-one counselling for anxiety, school avoidance, friendships and emotional regulation or mentoring and coaching for teens who need someone in their corner.

We work collaboratively with your wellbeing team to build understanding, strengthen relationships and create strategies that help young people reconnect with learning and belonging.
