Hi, I’m Kaitlyn…
I’ve been a therapist working with kids and teens for seven years. Most of that was in Australia before I moved to Scotland with my dog.
Therapy with me is grounded in being curious about you, building a trusting relationship and adding a little bit of chaos. Teenagers often tell me that they feel heard, safe, and valued after finishing work with me.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been to therapy before or still not even sure what a therapist is. If you come along to sessions with me they could look different to how you might have seen a therapist on TV. We can do craft, play games, do some funny dances, or you could beat me at Uno! Each session we have is shaped by you and what you bring that week.
Sessions with me are for YOU. A space where we can talk about anything and everything you need, an uninterrupted time to focus on you. We'll chat about it more when we meet but this also means that most of what we talk about is kept between us.
