applepipp 2.0

applepipp was founded in 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and in response to the need for therapeutic support for children and young people, parents and education professionals.

In 2021 I applied to The Northern Guild to study a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling specialising in Children and Adolescents to strengthen my practice and skillset and to build on my previous experience. I achieved qualification in July 2025.

Whilst studying I worked for a sports organisation as a Safeguarding Lead, supported by a National Governing Body, to address the need for minimum safeguarding standards and safer, more inclusive cultures.

My work experience in Education, SEND Support Services, Children’s Services and safeguarding over 16 years has equipped me with a specific skillset and experience of challenges many children and young people face.

As an integrative therapist I am committed to safeguarding, inclusion and child centred practice to support children and young people to achieve their therapeutic goals.

applepipp has evolved from emotion coaching to psychotherapeutic counselling in 2025. I am more motivated than ever to help children make sense of their world, develop a positive sense of self, develop strategies and autonomous decision making to cope with the individual challenges they face.
