Hi, I’m Zoe, a certified NLP4Kids practitioner offering therapy and coaching in Sussex, based in Billingshurst, West Sussex.
I support children, teenagers, and adults across Horsham, Pulborough, Worthing, and surrounding areas, both in-person and online.
“Helping you feel calm, confident, and back in control starts here”
With over 20 years of experience, I use Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to support anxiety, confidence, emotional wellbeing, and life challenges. My approach combines therapy and coaching, giving you practical tools to understand your thoughts, manage emotions, and create positive, lasting change.
I work with individuals and families across West Sussex who are looking for effective anxiety support, confidence coaching, and emotional resilience. Sessions are tailored to each person, whether you’re an adult navigating life’s pressures or a young person needing support with school, relationships, or self-esteem.
“Confident minds create stronger futures“

FAQs
What issues can child therapy help with?
Child therapy can support a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and confidence-related challenges. This includes anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, school-related difficulties, bullying, sleep issues, and emotional regulation. It can also help children who may be struggling with focus, social skills, or neurodiversity-related needs such as ADHD or autism.
How does child therapy work?
Child therapy uses practical, structured, and solution-focused techniques to help children understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Sessions are interactive and age-appropriate, giving children tools they can apply in everyday situations rather than focusing solely on talking about problems.
How many sessions will me or my child need?
Most people benefit from a short programme of around 4 to 8 sessions, depending on their individual needs and goals. The approach is designed to be focused and efficient, aiming to create positive change without long-term therapy commitments.
Will parents or carers be involved?
Yes. Parents and carers are an important part of the process. You may be given guidance, strategies, and feedback to help support your child at home and reinforce the progress made during sessions. This collaborative approach helps improve outcomes and consistency.
Is child therapy the same as counselling?
Not exactly. While there are similarities, this approach is more practical and solution-focused than traditional counselling. The emphasis is on helping children develop real-world strategies to manage emotions, build confidence, and create positive behavioural change in a short period of time.
