A message from Claudia

If you are going through a difficult time, I want to offer you my support. I invite you to book a free 20-minute intro consultation so we can get to know each other.

Counselling for preteens and teens

Kids and teens often show what they feel before they can say it: stomach aches before school, slammed doors, hours alone in their room, grades that suddenly drop. Behind the behaviour there is usually a feeling that's too big to handle alone. Therapy helps young people put words to it and learn, through their body, how to come back to calm.

Sessions are practical and age-appropriate, using conversation, creative tools and simple techniques they can use at school or at home. Parents are part of the process too: I offer guidance on how to support your child, while protecting the trust they need to open up.

Is this for you?

For young people ages 9 and up who worry a lot, get overwhelmed by anger or sadness, struggle with friendships, bullying or school pressure, or are figuring out who they are. Also for kids of immigrant families caught between what's expected at home and what's normal at school, and for parents who feel their child pulling away and want to reconnect.

My approach

Sessions are collaborative and age-appropriate: we use friendly language adapted to each age, with practical and creative tools to understand and manage emotions. We work at each young person's pace in a space where they can be themselves and, when it helps, involve parents to support progress at home.
