The Youth Fairy Heathfield

The Youth Fairy Heathfield A modern, solution-focused approach to positive change for children, teens and young adults. I hold an Enhanced DBS and am fully insured.

I'm Vicki, therapist at The Youth Fairy, a team of Solution Focused therapists dedicated to improving the emotional well-being and mental health of children and teenagers suffering from anxiety, stress, anger, emotional regulation and low confidence. I offer a 1 hour consultation (free) face to face in Heathfield or online, to discuss your child's situation and how I can help them regain more emotional control and see them feeling happier, calmer and much more confident in a relatively short amount of time. As well as helping young people make these changes, I’m passionate that educating them on their mental health is such an important and essential part of the change process. By empowering them with this knowledge, we can help young people to develop more positive, healthy habits for life. In the consultation I’ll explain to you and your child how the brain works to create their specific problems and associated feelings, behaviours or symptoms. This understanding can be really motivational to children as they realise there is hope, see more clearly what we can do about it and how to promote more mentally healthy behaviours in the future. This knowledge is super helpful for you as a parent too - it allows for greater understanding, creates a common language to talk more easily with your child about their well-being and gives you specific ideas of how you can best support the process (and beyond). And because this modern, well researched approach is solution focused, it means your child won’t have to focus on the past in great detail or revisit traumatic events to make really positive change. Instead, it supports children to recognise their strengths and gives them the tools to move forward. You’ll also get my relaxation audio downloads to help improve any sleep problems they are having and support the process. Before training as a therapist and joining the Youth Fairy team I have a background in bereavement care and have assisted hundreds of families through their grief journey. This includes helping children cope with the loss of a family member, parent or sibling by enabling them to regain control of their feelings. Although grief is a specialist area, I also work with a range of other concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma, low mood and low confidence/self-esteem.

Body Image & Teens How to Help Your Child Feel Confident in Their Own Skin

For many teens, body image feels like a rollercoaster confident one day, self-conscious the next. With social media, peer pressure and school life all shaping how they see themselves, it’s not always easy to know how to help.

In our latest Parent Pad blog, we explore:

🧠 What’s happening in the teenage brain

💬 How to respond in ways that calm anxiety, not amplify it

🌱 Small, solution-focused steps that build real confidence over time

The teenage brain is still developing, especially the part responsible for perspective and rational thinking. That means emotions around appearance can feel intense. But the good news is the brain is neuroplastic, so repeated positive experiences can literally rewire how teens see themselves. ✨

Body image isn’t about perfection, it’s about helping your teen build a kinder relationship with themselves. And your calm, consistent support makes more difference than you might think. 💫

🧚 My SMILE for Parents programme is designed to help you regain a greater sense of emotional control and will support you in making those positive changes in thoughts and behaviours you need to feel calmer, happier and much more confident as a person – and as a parent.

And the great thing is our Solution Focused approach means you don’t need to excessively talk about past problems, your perceived ‘parenting mistakes’ (even Youth Fairies have felt that completely unhelpful parent guilt) or trauma in order to get you back on top of things and feeling like yourself again.

Can help to...

✔️ Boost feelings of overall happiness
✔️ Cope calmly with everyday situations
✔️ Feel in control of reactions, thoughts & emotions
✔️ Rediscover your confidence & self-recognition
✔️ Develop a more positive outlook
✔️ Interact more positively with others

🌟TESTIMONIAL🌟

What a glowing from Sophie. Jenna came to see me really struggling with suicidal thoughts, low confidence and anxiety.
She was a pleasure to work with and made such a positive change in such a short amount of time - just amazing work in and out of sessions 🧚🥰 Mum, Sophie, clearly has noticed to benefits too.

Full testimonial below 👇👇👇

“Vicki helped my 12 year old daughter so much. I was worried about the cost but was worth every penny. It gave my daughter a safe space to talk about anything she wanted to. And after a few weeks my daughter was much more chill and open with me.

We are a few weeks on now from having completed a block of sessions and have not had any more and my daughter is still in a much better place. What is also good to know is that we said that should my daughter have a blip and feels she needs a ‘top up’ session then that would also be available.

I actively encourage parents to let their children have this therapy should they be struggling in any way with anxiety, school, relationships etc before it goes on too long. Far better to start this early as required and help them with coping strategies. A thousand thank yous to Vicki and I am eternally grateful."
