    Specialising in Couples, Families and Young People

    Most couples don’t arrive in therapy because everything is broken. They come because communication has become strained, trust feels uncertain, or life changes have placed pressure on the relationship.

    You might be finding the same arguments keep repeating. That conversation quickly turns into conflict or silence. Parenting, stress, past experiences or unmet needs are sitting between you. Or that you’re unsure whether the relationship can change – or whether separation might be the next step.

    I’m Chandel, a registered BACP counsellor and trainee CORST therapist, specialising in working with couples and families navigating the realities of modern relationships, including communication difficulties, separation, trust breaches, parenting conflict, and the emotional impact of change and loss.

    How I Work

    My Approach

    My approach is integrative and relational, helping clients explore both the practical patterns shaping their relationships and the emotional experiences influencing how the respond to one another.

    I offer a reflective, compassionate and professional space to make sense of what’s happening, develop healthier ways of communicating, and rebuild trust where possible. My work is grounded in ethical, inclusive and culturally sensitive practice, with attention to to how to identify, culture, trauma, sexuality, disability, and neurodivergence shape our relational lives.

    Chandel also works with young people, offering a calm and supportive space to explore whatever may be feeling difficult or confusing. She works thoughtfully with teenagers and young adults who may be struggling with emotions, relationships, identity, or feeling under pressure, helping them make sense of their experiences at their own pace.

    Family and wider relational work

    Alongside couples therapy, I am experienced in supporting families through:

    • Co-parenting challenges and parenting conflict
    • Blended and complex family systems
    • Extended family and in-law dynamics
    • Intergenerational patterns that influence present relationships
    • Family court proceedings and parental alienation

    My role is to walk alongside you – helping you understand patterns, emotions and reactions, and supporting practical changes that can be carried into everyday life beyond the therapy room.

    Over time, this process can help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected – both to yourself and to one another.

    Working Together

    In couples therapy, my role is not to take sides or decide who is right or wrong. My focus is on creating a calm, balanced space where both voices are heard and difficult conversations can take place more safely.

    Together we may work to:

    • Understand repeating patterns of conflict, distance or shutdown
    • Improve communication and emotional understanding
    • explore the impact of trust breaches and affairs
    • Reduce blame and increase clarity and compassion
    • Support reconnection, clearer boundaries, or separation with care

    You do not need to know the outcome before starting. Therapy can help you slow things down, think more clearly, and decide together what feels right.

    Meet Rebecca

    Supporting Children, Young People & Families

    When your child is struggling, it can feel frightening, exhausting, and deeply unsettling – especially when you’re not sure what’s going on or how best to help. Many parents reach out feeling worried, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning whether they’ve missed something important.

    I’m Rebecca, a child and young adult therapist with over 10 years experience supporting children, teenagers and young adults who are navigating trauma, emotional distress, and overwhelming life experiences. As both a therapist and a mum, I understand how heavy it can feel to worry about your child and wonder whether you’re doing the right thing.

    You don’t need to have all the answers to seek support noticing that something doesn’t feel quite right is enough.

    Support that feels relevant

    How I Work

    My Approach

    My work is trauma-informed, compassionate, and grounded in trust. I take time to understand your child’s world – their family life, school environment, friendships, and experiences – so that support feels relevant and meaningful.

    I draw on a range of evidence-based and creative approaches, including:

    • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
    • Therapeutic play and creative work
    • Counselling
    • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
    • Stabilisation and grounding techniques
    • Psychoeducation

    How I Support Children & Young People

    Children and young people don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling. Emotional distress can show up in many ways – anxiety, anger, withdrawal, changes in behaviour, sleep difficulties, school struggles, or feeling shut down.

    I offer a calm, compassionate and trauma-informed space where young people can begin to make sense of what they’re experiencing, feeling understood, and gradually develop safer, more confident ways to cope.

    My work is always paced gently and shaped around the individual child or young person. Building trust and emotional safety is my starting point – healing begins when a young person feels truly seen and heard.

    Working Together

    Our work usually begins with an initial assessment, giving your child space to be heard and allowing me to understand how best to support them. From there, we agree together what ongoing support might look like.

    When you’re ready, you can view my availability and book an initial assessment online. There is no obligation – this is simply the first step in understanding how I can support your child and your family.

    Understanding What You’re Going Through

    Watching your child struggle can be incredibly painful. Many parents tell me they feel helpless, guilty or unsure what to do next – especially after long waiting lists or unclear pathways to support.

    You are not alone.

    Alongside supporting your child, I also work with parents and carers, offering guidance sessions to help you understand what may be happening for your child and how best to support them at home. While therapy remains focused on your child’s wellbeing and emotional safety, parents are supported too.

    I believe therapy works best when families feel informed, reassured and involved in a way that feels right for everyone.
