Feeling Overwhelmed as a Parent?
Are you concerned about your child or young person's emotions, behaviour or development, but unsure where to begin?
Whether they are experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, school-related challenges or navigating characteristics of Autism or ADHD, support can begin without a formal diagnosis.
At Devoted Counselling & Support Services, I offer a compassionate, neuro-affirming and strengths-based approach that recognises each young person's individual needs and experiences.
I work alongside children, adolescents, young adults and their families to build emotional understanding, strengthen connections and develop practical strategies that support everyday life.
Book your free 30-minute consultation to explore how I can support you and your young person.

Behind Every Wall is a Story
A cactus, with its sharp spines, represents the emotional defenses we build to protect ourselves. But beneath that tough exterior, a beautiful flower can bloom, showing how growth happens when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Like caring for a cactus, it takes patience to gently soften our defenses and let our true selves shine.
Testimonies with Devoted Counselling & Support Services
Young Person
Thank you for sticking with me! Because of you I learnt how to have a voice and really have a red hot go at explaining what was going on. You made someone with a rock bottom self-esteem glad to be them. I hope so much to be able to work alongside you one day and learn how to be such an incredible, professional person.
Thank you so much
Parent of a Young Child
In the one session and following the information you gave me and explained - Participant has had an amazing fortnight. Their educators at daycare have even commented on this.
