About Samantha Black (Child and Adolescent Counsellor)
Samantha Black is one of the therapists at Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling who specialises in working with children, teenagers, and adolescents.
As a Child & Adolescent Counsellor, Samantha uses a variety of counselling techniques including talking therapy, play therapy and art therapy, to help children deal with issues such as bullying, exam stress, self-esteem & confidence problems, childhood depression, and anxiety among others.
As well as working with children, teenagers and young people, Samantha is also able to work with parents and adults who experience their own difficulties, assisting in the recovery of anxiety, depression, low mood, support with life changes (including separation and bereavement) and support with adult eating disorders.
Samantha decided to become a counsellor when she developed an interest in mental health as a teenager, when she herself benefitted from professional intervention from a skilled counsellor.
