The Youth Fairy Salisbury

The Youth Fairy Salisbury A modern, solution-focused approach to positive change for children, teens and young adults.

I'm Melanie, therapist at The Youth Fairy, a team of Solution Focused therapists dedicated to improving the emotional well-being and mental health of children and teenagers suffering from anxiety, stress, anger, emotional regulation and low confidence. I offer a 1 hour consultation (free) face to face in Amesbury or online, to discuss your child's situation and how I can help them regain more emotional control and see them feeling happier, calmer and much more confident in a relatively short amount of time. As well as helping young people make these changes, I’m passionate that educating them on their mental health, which is such an important and essential part of the change process. By empowering them with this knowledge, we can help young people to develop more positive, healthy habits for life. In the consultation, I’ll explain to you and your child how the brain works to create their specific problems and associated feelings, behaviours or symptoms, the role their emotions play and how to stride forward positively. This understanding can be really motivational to children as they realise there is hope, see more clearly what we can do about it and how to promote more mentally healthy behaviours in the future. This knowledge is super helpful for you as a parent too - it allows for greater understanding, creates a common language to talk more easily with your child about their well-being and gives you specific ideas of how you can best support the process (and beyond). I will work with your child in a solution focused way, which means they won’t have to focus on the past in great detail or revisit traumatic events to make really positive changes. The therapeutic process should feel very rewarding, positive and young people enjoy and look forward to coming to the sessions. You’ll also get my relaxation audio downloads to help improve any sleep problems they are having and support the process. You can feel reassured your child is in an experienced and safe pair of hands; before becoming a therapist I've worked with vunerable children for over 25 years in schools ranging from inner city London to rural primary schools as a qualified teacher and headteacher

I have specialised in supporting children with emotional and pastoral needs including introducing community well-being programmes for children and their families. These opportunities have given me a number of experiences working with children with a range of needs. I thoroughly enjoy helping children, young people and their families. I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate, am fully insured and I am also a member of the following professional bodies:

National Board for Modern Psychotherapy (NBMP)

Association For Solutions Focused Hypnotherapy (AFSFH)

National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH)

This Saturday was all about women supporting women 💛✨

I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with so many fabulous, inspiring females to create a beautiful Spring Equinox Wellbeing Day 🌸🌿 A day filled with connection, positivity, and nurturing energy — exactly what we all need as we step into a new season.

To top it all off, I then became a model for Elly, experiencing the most relaxing Gia Sha facial to finish the day 💆‍♀️✨

Feeling so grateful to be surrounded by such uplifting, talented women.

Here’s to more collaboration, empowerment, and supporting each other every step of the way 💫

As parents, it’s so hard to know when to step in and when to step back. We want to protect them, but we also want them to grow into resilient, confident people who can navigate relationships on their own.

No matter what’s happening with friends, they should always know they can come back to you without judgment.

Parenting through friendship ups and downs isn’t easy, but these moments are shaping how they’ll handle relationships for life.

What’s helped you support your child through friendship challenges? 💬

Mary recently reached out for support regarding her daughter Abi. Mealtimes had become increasingly stressful, with Abi experiencing high levels of anxiety and only feeling comfortable eating a very limited range of foods—often sticking to the exact same brands.

This was understandably a real concern for Mary, especially with a family holiday to Disney coming up. She worried about how Abi would cope and whether she might refuse to eat altogether while they were away.

Following a tailored programme of sessions, Abi gradually began to build confidence around food. With support, she was able to try new foods at home—and even more amazingly, continued this progress on holiday, where she explored and enjoyed some new foods too! 🌟

Supporting families through challenges like this is so important—helping to reduce anxiety, build confidence, and make everyday moments like mealtimes feel calmer and more manageable .💛

Full testimonial below 👇

Great News! Abi seems more relaxed at mealtimes now and is she isn't feeling quite so settled she gets the frog drawing out to held her focus.

On holiday she tried lots of new foods which was amazing!

Thanks Melanie!

🌟 NEW BLOG Helping Your Child Thrive in the School Social Environment 🌟

School isn’t just about lessons and homework , it’s a whole social world. Friendships form, confidence grows (and sometimes wobbles), and children learn who they are in relationship with others. 💛

In our latest blog, we explore how to support your child through friendship ups and downs using simple neuroscience and practical, solution-focused tools. From calming big emotions to building social confidence step by step, we share gentle ways to guide (not rescue) so your child can grow resilience that lasts.

Because thriving socially doesn’t mean having no bumps in the road… it means feeling capable of navigating them. If you’d like to help your child feel more confident, connected and secure at school, this one’s for you. ✨

The car magnets are working their magic 🪄

Yesterday I was parked in Salisbury and received a message from someone who’d spotted my car and the magnets on the side.

It just goes to show that the little things can make a big difference. A simple magnet, a parked car, and suddenly a new connection.

Really enjoying gradually raising my local profile and becoming more visible in the community. Every small step counts! 🙌
