Online Counselling for Teenagers & Young People
Explore Feelings. Build Resilience. Grow with Confidence
Convenient & Flexible Support for Your Child
Compassionate Support for Teens and Their Parents
The teenage years are a time of immense growth, development and self-discovery, but they can also bring challenges - to both young people and their parents.
Navigating Adolescence: Support for Emotional Well-being
Navigating school pressures, friendships, family dynamics, or emotional struggles is a lot to manage. Add hormonal changes into the mix, and it’s no wonder so many young people feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope.
Helping Teens Build Resilience and Self-Understanding
I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where your child can explore and express their thoughts and feelings, helping them to understand themselves better and find healthy ways of coping with life’s challenges.
How Counselling Can Support Your Child’s Well-Being
Build confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.
Understand and manage specific issues like exam stress and social anxiety.
Address and overcome challenges such as self-harm or intrusive thoughts.
Strengthen relationships with family and friends.
Develop tools to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease.

Professional & Experienced Support
Before qualifying as a counsellor, I spent over 15 years working with teenagers and young people.
As a former teacher and SEN teaching assistant, I gained first-hand insight into the pressures of the school environment—particularly for those who are sensitive or have additional needs such as ASD and ADHD.
As an NCPS Accredited Children & Young People’s Therapist, I provide professional, ethical, and compassionate support. For added peace of mind, I also hold a full DBS check.
Compassion & Understanding
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where your child can openly express their thoughts and feelings. Through gentle exploration, I can help them develop their emotional literacy, learn healthy ways of coping, and gain the confidence and tools they need express themselves.
Whether they’re struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, school stress or relationship issues, I offer tailored support to help them feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Supporting Parents and Guardians
As a parent or guardian, you want the best for your child. I understand how important it is for you to feel confident that they’re receiving the right support and that I have a good understanding of your child’s needs. I always value parent perspectives and work with you to help your child get the most out of their sessions.
While sessions are confidential, I encourage open communication whenever possible, ensuring you feel informed and included in the process.

“I had never done online counselling before, so didn’t quite know" what to expect. Estelle was friendly and supportive, and put me at my ease immediately. We built a good rapport very quickly and it was clear that she was an extremely empathic listener
She supported me through an extremely tough time: I’m in my 50s, and much of my distress was related to the difficulties my teenager was having. Her knowledge of how kids work - having been a teacher herself - was extremely valuable. She has really good knowledge of the SEND system too. More recently she has also helped me through the death of my father.
Estelle has exactly the right balance of empathy, supportive questioning and practical suggestions. She has really made me think over our sessions, and I have moved forward because of them.
I very much value working with her.”

"Estelle is a great professional and fantastic communicator.
Our 13-year-old son has been attending several sessions, and it is obvious that she has made a positive impact on his life.
Thanks to Estelle's advice, now he knows how to deal with his worries in a more realistic way.”

“My overall experience with Therapy with you has been a positive one. It has given me the tools to deal with stress / anxiety and to also notice when I am in a ‘spiral’.
It’s also made me more aware of other people behaviours around me, and how I navigate it. For example, the relationship with my parents. I now understand why the relationship is a certain way, and how I should treat it going forward to reduce my anxiety. Similarly, it’s been an effective tool with starting a new job. I have, been able to focus on the here and now rather than future problems that used to send me into a spiral.
But to conclude, I have felt completely at ease when talking to you during our sessions which has helped me talk through the issues I have had recently and in the past (a number of years ago), and as result I would recommend your services to friends, family and work colleagues.”
