About Me
Hello, I’m Stephanie
I’m an Integrative Counsellor passionate about supporting children, young people, young adults, adults and parents to navigate life’s challenges in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space.
My approach is grounded in understanding that every person’s experience is unique. I work collaboratively and adapt my approach to meet individual needs, helping clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I believe counselling should feel human, welcoming and paced around you — a place where you can pause, reflect and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing.
My Background
Experience that informs compassionate care
My previous work in education has given me a deep understanding of child development, emotional wellbeing, families and the different ways people experience the world.
20
years in primary education
Supporting children and families and developing a strong understanding of emotional wellbeing, development and individual needs.
3
years as a SEMH Advisor
Supporting children aged 5–18 with social, emotional and mental health needs, emotional regulation and resilience.
✦
Trauma-informed & neurodiversity-aware
My professional experience has included supporting children and young people with a wide range of experiences, identities and support needs, including across the spectrum of neurodiversity.
I bring this understanding into counselling with curiosity, compassion and respect for each person’s individual strengths, needs and way of communicating.
My Approach
Therapy shaped around the individual
As an Integrative Counsellor, I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I draw from different therapeutic approaches and adapt sessions to meet the needs, age and preferences of each client.
☼
Collaborative
We work together, building on your strengths and finding approaches that feel meaningful and manageable for you.
❋
Creative for younger clients
When appropriate, sessions may include mindfulness, breathwork, therapeutic play, creative reflection and emotional regulation strategies.
