Emotionally-based School Avoidance (ESBA)

I work with a range of difficulties - please see Who page to find out more.

There has been growth in children and adolescents refusing to attend school, this can be described as emotionally-based school avoidance (ESBA). I have been supporting young people with this over the past years.  This can be very difficult for the young person, but also the whole family.  Please feel free to get in contact to find out more.

I also provide therapeutic support to young people with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) and those on the Autistic Spectrum (ASD).

I have many years of experience working within schools, supporting young people through psychotherapy where complex issues may be present, including; loss, trauma, identity, neglect, post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety disorders.

Please contact me to find out more; I am a child psychotherapist (UKCP Registered); a counsellor; arts and play therapist, covering Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire. You can contact me here.
