Children & Adolescents

The pressures of life – social media, peer pressure, academic testing – start at an early age and require new levels of resilience and skills for our children and young people to navigate through these with their emotional wellbeing intact. 

My work with children and teenagers provides them with the understanding and age-appropriate skills necessary to manage these challenges. I ensure that they are treated with the maturity and respect they deserve and that I make our time together as relevant, light where possible and engaging. Most importantly, I work hard to earn their trust in my ability to help them and to share with me

Matt (14 years old) OCD

 “I worried about having to open up to a stranger. I felt much more comfortable about the whole thing as weeks went by and opening up became easier and easier. It [therapy] helped me cope with my OCD, then tackle it and then stamp down on it.”

Matt’s mum

“Our weekly session with Zoe was our beacon in a storm. She shared the load with us and the weekly visits became the most important part of our week. Whilst under her care my son went from strength to strength and is now living a happy life without OCD”.

Ali (age 12) General anxiety

“Thank you for helping me. I find it easier to go to school easier and can now go out with my friends.”

Mum of Maya (aged 17) Depression and low self-esteem

“It means so much knowing there is someone there keeping watch over Maya through difficult times. Bizarre, when I don’t actually need to ask what you talk about. I just know the difference it is making.”

Mum of Leo (age 10) Panic attacks, “We are so grateful for all the support, insight and toolkit of strategies for life that you so warmly and patiently shared with Leo and ourselves. We have got our fun, loving little boy back.”

Alice (age 10) Social anxiety)

“I enjoyed seeing Zoe. I also got a Subway on the way home!”
