Children, Young People and Parents

Peter is experienced working with young people and children and their parents (where appropriate) to achieve good outcomes for them. He has worked with anxiety, self harm, bullying, low self esteem, isolation, eating disorders, suicidal ideation and helped young people gain a better insight into their situation and resolve their issues.

Early Intervention - Peter believes that early intervention is important especially when working with children. Many children and young people experience anxiety and depression. In some cases, if left untreated, these problems can spiral and lead to issues such as drug abuse, suicide attempts and criminality in adolescence and adulthood. Working with the young person and the family Peter provides a supportive environment whereby insight is gained into the issue and from this insight growth can occur and resolution found.
