Welcome

“I founded Create and Connect Counselling in 2020 to help make mental health support more accessible for children and young people. I offer counselling and play-based therapy in primary schools and one-to-one sessions after school in West Street, Fareham for ages 4-17 years.”

Children and young people sometimes struggle to express big emotions, manage anxiety or feel confident in themselves. As a children’s counsellor, I provide one-to-one support in a safe, creative space when they can explore their feelings and build emotional resilience.

Through play, creative techniques and talking therapy, I help children feel heard, understood and empowered whether they are struggling with anxiety, friendships or challenges at school.

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: amanda.createandconnect@gmail.com 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 Whiteley, Fareham, Botley, Hedge End, Portsmouth and Southampton and the surrounding areas.
