I am a qualified Children and Young People's Integrative Counsellor

I offer one to one counselling for children and young people aged 5-24 years of age. Counselling is delivered one to one, face to face or online to clients experiencing a range of emotional and/or mental health difficulties related to trauma, domestic abuse, emotional distress, stress, low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem, childhood abuse, lack of confidence and those who self-harm and/or have suicidal thoughts/feelings.

I use a Person-Centred Approach alongside a variety of therapeutic interventions, such as Systemic, Creative, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Lego Based Therapeutic Coaching, Play Based Therapy and Drawing & Talking Therapy, in order to bring about positive change in children and young people.

Jo at Butterfly Room Therapy offers a confidential, safe, non-judgemental, and empathic environment in which children and young people can share and explore challenges that they are experiencing, allowing them to grow and move forward in a positive way.
I hold an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate, which is available upon request
