Counselling C & YP


Counselling Children and Young People is my specialization, and I have a long experience in working with adolescents. As a former teacher in Steiner Schools, I believe that arts and play constitute a huge part of a child’s development.​
The use of creative materials helps young people to express themselves in a way appropriate for their age; playing with puppets or the sand tray allows them to act out thoughts, feelings or events that might be difficult to articulate with words.

The use of symbols facilitates the processing of complex issues, giving children and young people the emotional tools to heal their wounds. In a room specifically set up for young clients, they can explore their problems and elaborate their coping strategies at their own pace.​

​In my work as a school-based counsellor I have seen how often children and young people struggle to have a voice and to be heard by the adult society; actually they need to make sense of what happens to them as well as adults do. Challenging behaviour, self-harm, withdrawal, aggression, they are all ways of coping with the pain of untold emotions: counselling provides children and young people with a space entirely dedicated to them. They will be heard and helped whatever their difficulties are.
