Bec Stannage

Bec brings an energetic, down-to-earth and engaging approach to counselling, creating a space where children and young people feel comfortable being themselves. With 15 years of experience working across schools, community settings and private practice,

Bec understands that growing up isn't always straightforward. From navigating friendships and school pressures to managing big emotions, developing a sense of identity and finding your place in the world, she recognises that every young person has their own experiences, strengths and challenges.

Bec has a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent children and young people, including those with ADHD and Autism. She understands that the world doesn't always feel like it is designed for the way every young person thinks, feels and experiences things. Her approach is flexible, individualised and strengths-based, helping young people better understand themselves, build confidence and develop practical ways to navigate everyday life.

Whether a young person is experiencing anxiety, struggling with friendships, feeling overwhelmed by expectations, having difficulty managing emotions or simply trying to make sense of who they are, Bec provides a space where they can feel heard, understood and supported without judgement.

Bec believes counselling shouldn't feel like another place where young people are told what they need to change. Instead, it's an opportunity to build on what is already there, discover what works for them and develop the skills and confidence to navigate life's challenges.
