Counselling for Teens is run by Sharon Meredith, FdA.
Helping teenagers and young people is my passion.
I provide a warm, safe place to talk confidentially (either in person in Gloucester, or virtually via WhatsApp or Teams) as I sensitively explore the reasons behind your emotional distress.
I then help by giving you coping strategies - both for yourself and for the rest of your family - to help everybody work together better.
I started counselling with children and young people in 2014, although I am also qualified to work with adults.
In addition to counselling, I also offer clinical supervision service for counsellors and other health and wellness professionals.
I am also a senior counsellor, clinical manager and clinical superisor at TalkWell (previously Teens in Crisis) for Gloucestershire.
I've been where you are!
My passion for counselling children and young people came from growing-up with a disability myself.
This often made me feel different and less able when I was at school and in my teens, so I've got personal experience of the struggles and challenges that young people face.
