Stephanie,

My name is

and I support children and teenagers through creative, development-focused, and evidence-informed approaches. In my sessions, I make use of drama, art, sensory activities, reflective conversations, identity-building tools, and other creative methods to help young people express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop practical coping skills in a safe and supportive environment.

“My son, started with Creative Counselling with Stephanie in the beginning of 2024. I am deeply grateful for the guidance and support of Stephanie; her kindness, patience, wisdom and support have made a profound impact on my son’s journey.

On this personal journey he has gained confidence, clarity and strength to overcome certain challenges. Thank you for your unwavering encouragement and spiritual guidance and for always being a great source of inspiration and motivation.
We are looking forward to more years of growing.”
