The Youth Fairy Heathfield

The Youth Fairy Heathfield A modern, solution-focused approach to positive change for children, teens and young adults. I hold an Enhanced DBS and am fully insured.

I'm Vicki, 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 Heathfield or online, to discuss your child's situation and how I can help them regain more emot

ional 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 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. 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). And because this modern, well researched approach is solution focused, it means your child won’t have to focus on the past in great detail or revisit traumatic events to make really positive change. Instead, it supports children to recognise their strengths and gives them the tools to move forward. You’ll also get my relaxation audio downloads to help improve any sleep problems they are having and support the process. Before training as a therapist and joining the Youth Fairy team I have a background in bereavement care and have assisted hundreds of families through their grief journey. This includes helping children cope with the loss of a family member, parent or sibling by enabling them to regain control of their feelings. Although grief is a specialist area, I also work with a range of other concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma, low mood and low confidence/self-esteem.

⭐TESTIMONIAL⭐

This literally made my day I just had to reshare 🥰 I absolutely loved working with Tom, he engaged so well in sessions and has made such positive changes (and taught me more about cars 🚘).

As with all my client, Tom is always welcome to return if he needs any additional support in the future. But this is goodbye for now, keep being you Tom because you are AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Full testimonial below 👇👇👇
“From the initial consultation I was sure you were a great fit, Tom was initially dubious but gave it a few days thought and decided to try it. Your patience and kindness has made the transition to seeking therapy for my now 16 year old a smooth and easy one. I am so grateful that we found you because I truly believe that we would be in a very different place right now had we not.

Tom has undiagnosed (still waiting) ADHD/ASD and he has always struggled with anxiety, which got progressively worse after he was assaulted outside of school. This led to a school move and whilst this was the right decision we felt having some extra support to deal with the trauma of being assaulted would never be a bad thing. Tom still has some days that he refuses to go to school because of anxiety but on the whole, he is attending and performing much better than he ever has. I believe this is down to you and how you have helped him to see that he is good enough and taught him how to manage his feelings in a positive way. Tom can now see the positives in every day and focuses less on the negative. He had very low self-esteem but you have managed to change his view of himself and he can now see that he’s a good person with plenty to offer the world.

Whilst I am not sure Tom will ever want to permanently leave you, to know that someone can support him the way you do, understands him and whom he absolutely adores is a comfort to all of us. For now, we are taking a break but he knows that when he needs a top up, you’re just a message away. I have and will continue to recommend your services as you have been an invaluable part of our last year. As a family you have made a massive change to our lives and we’ll be forever grateful. Thank you xx”

⭐TESTIMONIAL⭐

I was so pleased with this from amazing Jenna just had to reshare. She was really struggling when we first met with anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts 😢

But now feels so much happier than she did before and can see the positive side of life 🥰🧚 all in just 7 sessions together.

Full testimonial below 👇👇👇
“I was a bit worried about meeting Vicki because I didn’t know what she would be like for example her personality or attitude/tone in voice but in the end, it was really fun. I was struggling with a lot of suicidal thoughts; anxiety and I generally didn’t feel happy with life.

Overall, after having sessions with Vicki, I feel a lot happier than I did originally. I enjoyed the activities like learning about the brain and I enjoyed the wheel of activities me and my family got to do every week!

It really helped how she would ask me questions of fun things I did every week because it made me realise that I have a lot to be grateful for. I would recommend Vicki because she is really nice and I feel comfortable speaking to her about my problems which I may not say to other people.”

👶💛 From Only Child to Big Brother or Sister… it’s a big change for everyone!

Welcoming a new baby into the family is exciting, but for your first child it can also feel like a huge shift. One day they’re the centre of attention, the next there’s a tiny new human needing cuddles, toys and lots of your time.

It’s completely natural for parents to wonder:
Will they feel jealous?
Will their behaviour change?
How can I help them adjust?
In our latest blog we explore how this transition can affect your child, including what’s happening in their developing brain, and share gentle, solution-focused ways to support them through the change. 🧠✨

Inside the blog you’ll find tips on:

💛 Preparing your child before the baby arrives
💛 Using positive, solution-focused conversations
💛 Maintaining connection and routine
💛 Validating big feelings like jealousy or confusion
💛 Encouraging kind interactions and pride in their new role

The transition from only child to big sibling doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a process. Some days will feel smooth, others a little bumpy, and that’s completely normal.

With patience, empathy and lots of reassurance, your child can move from uncertainty to feeling proud, valued and excited about their new role. 🌟
