Adolescents & Young Adults

WHO I WORK WITH -

Adolescence and early adulthood are some of the most complex seasons of life. Identity is forming. Emotions are intense. And it's not always easy to find the words for what's happening inside.

I offer an integrated approach that combines trauma-informed talk therapy with art therapy — giving young people two pathways into their experience. Sometimes through talking, sometimes through creating, and often through a combination of both.

What young people
may be navigating

Identity formation and self-concept,


Peer and relationship pressures.


Past or ongoing trauma or stress.


Emotional intensity and mood fluctuations.


Academic, work, and life transitions.


Difficulty identifying or expressing emotions.


How it works

Talk therapy supports reflection, insight, and understanding of patterns and experiences. Art therapy supports emotional expression, regulation, and access to what may be hard to verbalise.

This combined approach allows for flexibility and pacing — supporting emotional regulation, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of self.
