Counselling for Children and Young People​
BACP Logo 387093

 

Founded by Amanda Rippengale in 2020, Create and Connect Counselling is an independent practice serving Hampshire schools and families.

I set up my business during Covid-19, towards the end of 2020, to support families and schools by providing one to one counselling sessions for children and young people age 3-17 years old.

Counselling sessions are child-centred and can either be play and art-based, talk therapy or a mixture depending on a child’s preference. This is an integrative approach which is flexible and sessions are tailored to a child’s individual social, emotional and personal circumstances.

There are two ways for you to work with me:

If you are a school representative looking for professional mental health provision in your school please drop me an email: [email protected] and I will be in contact as soon as possible.

If you are a parent seeking mental health support for your child outside of school, I provide sessions in the evenings at The West Street Counselling Practice in Fareham. Please drop me an email or contact me for your free 15 minute phone consultation 07815 774231.

I work with clients in Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton and the surrounding areas.
