Trauma & Emotional Processing

Specialist Therapy for Young People

Young people often carry emotional experiences they don’t yet have the tools to process. Whether it’s a traumatic event, grief, separation anxiety, or big life changes, these emotional burdens can affect their sense of safety, confidence, and ability to thrive.

At Holistic Renewal, I create a nurturing space where young people feel heard, understood, and supported. Through a gentle, integrative approach that combines counselling, hypnotherapy, and complementary techniques, I help them safely explore and release emotional pain, so they can move forward with greater resilience and ease.

Safe space for youth therapy and emotional processing of trauma

Navigating Big Life Changes (Divorce, Moving, Changing Schools)

Major transitions can feel unsettling, even frightening. I support children in adjusting to change by helping them process their emotions, build inner strength, and regain a sense of stability and control.

Past Trauma & Emotional Blocks

Unresolved trauma can create emotional roadblocks that impact daily life, relationships, and self-worth. I help young people gently access and release these blocks, restoring emotional balance and a sense of safety.

Grief & Loss (Loss of a Pet, Family Member, or Friend)

Grief can be a complex experience for children and teens. Whether it’s the loss of a beloved pet, relative, or friend, I offer a compassionate space where they can express their feelings, honour their memories, and begin to heal at their own pace.

Separation Anxiety

If your child struggles with being apart from loved ones, whether for school, social events, or overnight stays, I help them build coping tools, feel more secure, and develop confidence in their own independence.
