Therapy for young people
As a private practitioner, working independently means that CYP (Children and Young People) therapy is not subject to long waiting lists or school term/holidays, so it is continuous and uninterrupted.

Almost half of young people recognise their anxiety
One in three fear socialising and speaking to people
Over a quarter have a strong disliking of their body or the way they look
One in four teenagers are depressed or feel down a lot
A fifth are struggling to get enough sleep

43% are too embarrassed
41% don’t think they need help
34 % don’t think anyone will care
17% don’t know who to ask “
