1-1 Counselling and Psychotherapy

We have a team of qualified and advanced trainee psychotherapeutic counsellors who can work with students from the age of 0-25 years old.

We provide comfort, support, a listening ear, and a friendly face - whether it's a tough time, a build-up of different things, or exploring your self-awareness and unconscious mind. We take great care in being informed in working with children and young people with SEND, and/or trauma and or/significant anxiety.

We offer virtual and face to face sessions in a space that is comfortable, warm and welcoming. Our sessions are an hour long and are available for young people and adults aged 0 - 25 years old.  For our younger children we work with, we can provide play based approaches.

    Hi I am Sara and I am mum to a young son and we have a young dog. We enjoy family time that consists of creating memories, from baking to building Lego to days out. I value social time to connect with friends and family.

    I believe in the concept of early intervention and prevention; I am passionate about understanding the world of each child or young person and supporting them in the way that encourages autonomy and validates their feelings with compassion and warmth. I am pleased to be working with Life Skills Hub as I share their belief of Children and Young People's wellbeing being at the heart of all they do.

    I feel working with children and young people is a rich rewarding experience, responding to and exploring what they might be communicating through their behaviour and play. I love working creatively with age-appropriate interventions. Anything creative that builds trust, engages and encourages each child and young person to feel empowered and validated.

    Hi, I'm Caroline. I am a wife and mum of two beautiful daughters and have a 7-year-old Beagle Cross called Archie who we rescued at 7 month sold. I love Zumba, Fitsteps and any dancing. It's good for my soul and makes me feel happy. I also am partial to a bit of Queen and Meatloaf music and can be found blaring it out in the kitchen while cooking tea. Travelling is also a passion of mine and going away on holiday with family and friends is something I look forward to.

    l enjoy living life to the full and having fun. My motto in life is all about trying to find a positive out of a negative, however small and be thankful for what I have.

    Hi, I'm Klaudia. I like long-distance running and reading crime and detective novels. I'm a vegan, a feminist, and an animal lover. Sociology and psychology have been my life-long passion as they offer hope, invite change and broaden horizon.

    I have worked in a secondary education sector for 12 years, supporting EAL and SEN children academically, pastorally, and mentally. This experience has given me a good insight into issues young people have to deal with daily.

    Additionally, I have been working with a fellow therapist trainee on developing a psychotherapeutic project called Polish Your Soul designed to support the Polish community in Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire.

    Hi I am Ian and I am a Lifelong Hull City supporter, American Football fan, love anything to do with cricket, playing or watching and an amateur photographer. I enjoy long walks in the countryside, cycling and reading.

    I believe that every single person who wants help, should be heard. For far too long the stigma attached to mental health, especially men's mental health, has been a significant hindrance for the wellbeing of many in this country and the time for change is now. If you are looking for someone to sit with you in the dark, I am here to sit with you until the light appears.

    Hi I'm Niamh.

    I am thrilled to be working with Life Skills Hub, to be able to uphold their ethos and values to make positive changes in the lives of children and young people. I hope to support individuals in all areas, encourage independence and build confidence.

    I have worked with young people in a school environment for many years, supporting those who have social, emotional, or mental health needs. I worked with individuals to make sure their needs were met so they could have positive experiences during their education and be given the opportunity to succeed just as any other individual would. I feel rapport and building appropriate relationships is one of the most important aspects to facilitate growth within self and I love that Life Skills Hub encourages this so much!

    My hobbies and interests are mainly focused around my dogs Sparkles and Sidney, we go camping in the Lake District, search for waterfalls or spend our days at the beach. I love cooking for family and friends, and I have recently started jogging. These are all elements which help my mood, mental health, and wellbeing.
