ABOUT
When I first stepped into schools, one thing became really clear: so many children were carrying heavy emotions in silence. Staff were doing everything they could, but they were stretched thin, and families often felt unsure about how to support their children at home. And far too often, counselling was only called in when things had already escalated. By the time a student reached me — usually after SLT had stepped in — they were already overwhelmed.
​
But what I found was this: with patience, compassion, and the right therapeutic support, those tricky moments could be softened. Many situations that felt like they were heading toward crisis could be held, understood, and worked through before they spiralled.
​
That’s when I knew something needed to change.
​
I created Tea of Therapy because every young person deserves a safe space long before things reach breaking point. A space where they can talk freely, feel heard, and build the emotional tools they need to thrive — not just cope.

Our Approach
•Relationship-led: Our counsellor build trust first. We believe that healing begins with connection.
•Trauma-informed: We understand that emotional distress often comes from rooted experiences — and we work with sensitivity, not surface-level solutions.
•Child-centred: Whether it's primary school or teens, play, creative interventions, conversation — we tailor the work to each child’s developmental needs.
•Data-driven: We don’t just hope for change — we measure it. We use feedback, wellbeing scales, and terms of review to ensure progress and accountability.
•Culturally aware: We respect culturally diverse experiences of childhood and mental health.
