Child & young people therapist & Parenting Coach

Things I can help with are anxiety, stress, low mood, special needs, school avoidance, Anger & agression, low confidence, challenging behaviour, parents support

Whether you or your child feel stuck, anxious, or not able to cope as best as you would like, you are not alone, and I am here to help. Let’s get it all out of the closet, and work towards understanding, acceptance, self-compassion and greater calm.

When working with children I use child-led therapeutic and creative play, which enables them to express their emotions in a safe way and to develop the skills they need to grow, learn and regulate emotions. For older children as well as play I also use mindfulness based CBT techniques which empowers them to understand how their brain works and change unhealthy thought patterns.

About Me

I am Stani, a Child Therapist, Ollie and His Superpowers Coach, Mindfulness Teacher, and a mum of two young boys. I have also recently trained with the Institute of Family Therapy to offer family therapy interventions. I have a neurodivergent family, so I know how challenging parenting can be. This has inspired me greatly to help other parents navigate through parenting challenges in a better way. I also work with children with special needs who have dropped out of school.

TESTIMONIALS

“By the end of my daughters sessions with Stani, she was so much more confident to tackle issues she had previously struggled with. She also grew in confidence in herself which was truly wonderful to see. I cannot recommend Stani enough, she has such a lovely nature and my daughter always looked forward to every session.” Tanya

“My experience working with Stani has been so positive. She has guided me through the fundamentals of mindfulness practice. Her support has been encouraging and her therapeutic techniques have helped with some key obstacles to my general mental health. I would highly recommend Stani to anyone feeling overwhelmed and anxious.” Natalie

“As a sufferer of postnatal depression & anxiety for nearly 5 years I started seeing Stani as a way of finding the root cause of my mental illness & hopefully find the ability to cope with it & manage day to day life. After the first session I was feeling more like myself again, I felt like a weight had been lifted & I could smile genuinely. Stani was brilliant at listening to understand. remaining incredibly patient & offering me calming techniques that I use daily to get me through the hard times. Thank you so much Stani! “ Liz, mum

"I went to see Stany because I was very stressed and felt bad about myself. She was gentle, but well structured, and gave me a safe space to let everything out. What impressed me the most was how Stani conducted the Gestalt Empty Chair exercise, as it allowed very deep feelings to finally surface, feelings that had oppressed me for over fifty years! I can't thank Stani enough for her help." Lara, mum

“Stani's mindfulness session has been an amazing experience. At the beginning she gives some background information and shares her personal story, which is very encouraging. Throughout the actual meditation, she has very pleasant voice to listen to and provides clear instructions. I felt very relaxed afterwards, more present in a current moment and definitely inspired to bring more mindfulness in my life through Stani's practise seminars!” Helena

“I have been attending pregnancy mindfulness course with Stani I well recommend, it has prepared me for the birth given me confidence and breathing techniques I can apply during delivery.
