I offer 50 minute creative arts therapy and counselling sessions for children and young people aged 3-18. I have a creative space at my home in Letchworth in which I carry out private work and have experience working with a range of mental health difficulties including:
Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, making and sustaining friendships, grief and loss (due to separation, divorce or bereavement), dealing with big life events, school refusing, eating disorders, self-harming and other day to day challenges.
I also have experience working with SEND children
If you would like to know more, please DM me or contact me through my website and we can arrange a phone call 😊

The natural language of feeling for children and young people is that of image and metaphor, which is why an arts based creative approach, delivered in a playful, accepting, curious and empathic way is fundamental to how I work at Leaf Story.

Creative arts media may include: Painting, drawing, sand tray play, music, dance, sculpting, story telling and puppetry.

Hello, I'm Katy...
I am a qualified Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I trained for four years, graduating in 2020, at the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education, whose work is recognised by the BACP and the UKCP and is the sister organisation of the internationally acclaimed Centre for Child Mental Health.
I follow an integrative approach, whereby developmental theories and neuroscience underpin my relational and child led approach to working.
If appropriate, I also incorporate breathwork and mindfulness into my sessions as well as my dog Ralph!
Alongside working with private clients from my therapy space at home, I am currently working therapeutically in a Primary school setting and also at an outdoor Alternative Provision where most of my clients are teenagers. I am a registered BACP member and have regular clinical supervision. I am fully insured, first aid trained and registered with the DBS update service.
