A warm, creative space where your child can make sense of what they're carrying — through art, play, music, mindfulness and gentle movement. At their own pace. In their own language.
hello, I'm Pip
I'm Parin — a BACP-registered child and adolescent counsellor offering integrative counselling using art-based therapy for children aged 5 to 16. My approach is grounded in creativity, non-judgment, and deep respect for the inner world of every child.
I support children navigating anxiety, emotional dysregulation, grief, family transitions and difficult life changes. Using art, play and mindful creativity, I help them express what they cannot yet put into words — and gently find a way back to themselves.
Every session is tailored to meet the child where they are — through their own language of play, creativity and imagination.
Integrative counselling using art-based therapy. A safe, creative room where children can express what words cannot hold.
Creative, nurturing sessions for exploring feelings through art-making — for children who benefit from creative expression without formal counselling.
Psychoeducation, emotional support and reflective space for parents and caregivers. Understand your child's world and build tools for co-regulation.
Small group sessions on emotional literacy, attachment and co-regulation. Practical strategies and reflective insight for parents seeking deeper understanding.
A 15-minute conversation before you decide on anything. A chance to connect, ask questions, and see if we're the right fit for your child and family.
Children come to therapy for many reasons. These are the ones we most often support — and every child's experience is unique, so sessions are always tailored to the individual.
Persistent worry, panic, school anxiety, social anxiety, separation anxiety
Big emotions, meltdowns, difficulty managing feelings, emotional overwhelm
Bereavement, loss of a loved one, pet loss, and processing what grief brings
Childhood stress, low mood, withdrawal, lack of motivation, persistent sadness
Parental separation, divorce, new siblings, relocation, change at home
Supporting autistic, ADHD and neurodivergent children to express themselves
Processing difficult or frightening experiences, developmental trauma
Low self-esteem, self-doubt, school avoidance, building a stronger sense of self
School refusal, bullying, friendship issues, academic pressure, transitions
Children who find speaking in some situations very difficult — a gentler pathway
Aggression, defiance, behaviour rooted in unmet emotional needs or distress
Children navigating multiple cultures, languages or identities — third culture kids
A blend of creative, body-based and mindfulness approaches — because children express, process and heal in many different ways. The modality follows the child, never the other way around.
Drawing, painting, clay, collage and mixed media as therapeutic tools for expression and processing
Age-appropriate practices to build self-awareness, calm the nervous system and regulate emotion
Rhythm, sound and music as a therapeutic bridge — powerful for children who find words difficult
Body-based approaches to help children connect with and regulate their sensory experience
Imaginative and structured play as a therapeutic language — how children naturally make sense of their world
"Therapy is not about fixing a child — it's about honouring their story and empowering their voice."
Reaching out is the hardest part. After that, the journey is simple — and you're never on it alone.
A complimentary 15-minute call. Questions, no commitment, a feel for whether we fit.
start here ↓First sessions are about safety and trust — your child sets the pace, always.
Art, play, music and movement become the language. Words arrive when they're ready.
We review together regularly, and finish gently when your child is ready to go on alone.
Three offerings for parents — each different in format, all held in the same spirit. Intimate, honest, and built around what parenting actually feels like from the inside.
Once a month, a small group of parents come together online to make something. Each session is built around a theme from the real emotional landscape of parenting — and a single guided image everyone draws together. The image is the same for everyone. What each parent discovers within it is entirely their own. No art experience needed.
Four weekly sessions with the same small group, building on each other week by week. Each series takes a specific theme from the real experience of parenting — the parts rarely spoken about honestly. Themes include Parenting Through the Hard Seasons, Understanding Your Child, and Raising a Child Between Worlds.
In nature, a clearing is where the trees open up — where light reaches the ground and there is suddenly room to see, to breathe, to stand still. This is that space for parents. A small group of six. A different topic each month. No commitment beyond that evening. You arrive, you think, you talk honestly, and you leave with a little more light than you came in with.
If your question isn't here, please get in touch and we'll talk it through.
