Rebecca Colwill

Hi, I am Rebecca. I am a qualified counsellor, working mostly with children, teenagers, young adults and parents. I support people with exploring their thoughts, anxieties, feelings, experiences, relationships and behaviours. My aim is to help everyone I work with to flourish and for families to work better together.

Counselling for Children, Teenagers and Young Adults
Having completed almost 20 years teaching in schools, I have supported many children with a wide variety of needs. Now, as a qualified counsellor, I offer a safe and understanding space for young people to talk about their concerns or difficulties and, most importantly, to be heard.
Life can sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming. This can be very unsettling and make thoughts, feelings and actions unclear. I believe that everyone can find confidence with uncertainty and foster greater self-awareness. I am strongly committed to helping everyone I work with to become more resilient, overcome difficulties and express their emotions. The aim is to improve their personal, educational and relational outcomes and have every chance of finding success and contentment in life. I work at the individual's pace and counsel them through talking techniques, creative activities or play.

Support for Parents
I understand the challenges of parenting children and young people and that every situation is unique. I support parents facing adjustment, navigating behavioural, emotional, and developmental milestones and dealing with conflict. I provide tools and guidance for managing change, supporting your child's emotional and behavioural development, addressing more complex behavioural challenges, leaving you to feel more resilient, fostering a harmonious family environment.

If this is what you feel would help, I offer a 15 minute free telephone introduction session so that you can assess whether I am the right counsellor for you or your child.
