Children & Teens

“I’m less anxious and stressed. I don’t feel overwhelmed by daily tasks. I sleep much better and my self-esteem has improved. I feel more capable of handling challenging situations including those with my ex-partner. I’m a happier person.”

 
 

What is One-to-one Counselling?

We use a variety of clinically effective therapies, including CBT, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and integrative. Therapy is delivered by one of our fully-qualified psychotherapists and takes place at the office, at the child's school or sometimes over the telephone.

 

What to expect

An initial consultation with the a therapist, your parent(s) or carer and, if necessary, your social worker.

You will be assigned a regular therapist and each session lasts just under an hour.

The work continues until you feel ready to end the sessions, but generally people tell us they have experienced positive changes within 10 sessions.

I’m a Canadian living in the United Kingdom - London to be exact. I’m a business person with an eye for modern design. I’m a customer marketer who thinks like a customer. I’m a design thinker who also happens to be a designer.

I’ve worked at senior marketing levels in large corporations like American Express and Sky TV. I’ve worked agency side, leading digital client accounts. I’ve been part of several start-ups, sat on Angel Investing teams and run my own design and print studio.

In 2021, I started Ascender Creative to help small businesses with big plans build their online credibility and create better customer connections. I do this by taping into my 20+ years of business experience mixing it with a strong customer focus and a big dose of creativity.
