Counselling & Psychotherapy for Young People

Counselling and Psychotherapy for Young People
across Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland

"Helping young people realise their full potential"

About Me

My name is Julie Griffin and my private clinical practices are based in Oakham and Grantham. I also offer Skype counselling sessions as an alternative. Therapies are tailored to meet the needs of the individual allowing the young person to feel heard and valued, this supports them in making their own choices.

My belief is that young people often need extra support at this stage of their lives, when there can be many changes occurring. They face many challenges both mentally and physically. Young people sometimes need to find this support outside of their family and friends network.

Experience

I have been involved in counselling and psychotherapy with young people for 9 years, working in secondary schools, secure units, colleges and private practice.

I have additional training in self harm, Anxiety prevention, Attachment disorders, neuroscience and creative therapies.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

So what exactly are
Counselling and
Psychotherapy?

Counselling
and Psychotherapy are
basically the same in that
they offer several therapeutic
interventions. A psychotherapist
tends to have more experience and
more extensive training in these interventions. The importance
is centred round being given
time to be heard.

Why would a
young person need
Counselling or
Psychotherapy?

Young people
sometimes need
support with any number
of personal, psychological
or mental health problems.
These can be anything from
bullying and abuse to sexuality
and anxiety issues. Giving young
people the time to talk freely is
crucial to facing their issues.

What are the benefits
of Counselling and
Psychotherapy

Some of
the benefits are:
- Increased well-being
- Regaining happiness
and confidence.
- Being more able to cope.
- Discovering ways to deal
with problems.
- Empowering you to be able
to make your own choices
