We are Gisele and Lisa Jane, therapists 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. Mental health in young people is something that is close to both our hearts and we have a passion for empowering children to think
more positively, value themselves, recognise their strengths and capabilities and support them in navigating the challenges they might face on the way to reaching their full potential. We both offer a complimentary 1 hour, initial consultation face-to-face in Central Brighton or Hove, during which our main focus will be on your child; discussing their current situation, their best hopes for the therapy and how we can collaborate to bring about positive changes to support them in achieving their goals. As well as helping your child make positive changes with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, educating them on their well-being is something we know to be an important part of the change process. So, during the consultation, we'll also take the time to explain how the brain works in an age-appropriate and child-friendly manner, helping children understand why they might be experiencing certain emotions and symptoms. This psychoeducational element to our approach can be really motivational to children as they realise there is hope, see more clearly what we can do about it and supports them in developing more positive, healthy habits for life. 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). You’ll also get a relaxation audio download 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; in addition to being therapists, we collectively have over 35+ years of experience working with young people in various settings. Gisele, as a Montessori Practitioner and in primary schools and Lisa as a T.A in a school for children with severe learning difficulties.
