Margo Jackson

I work in private practise on Wednesdays.

I work as a School Counsellor in both primary and secondary school settings during the rest of the week.

I am a Child & Adolescent Counsellor with the Arts offering short and long term individual counselling to children aged 4-18.  

I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor with a background in the arts and education. At the heart of my work is the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, heard and accepted. I create a warm, non-judgemental space for children and young people to feel at ease whilst exploring and processing their feelings and worries.

In addition to my private practice, I work as a school counsellor in both primary and secondary school settings in Lambeth and Croydon. This gives me an ongoing understanding of the day-to-day challenges young people face in educational settings and how therapy can support them.

My approach is grounded in psychoanalysis, attachment theory, child development and neuroscience and I work in a trauma-informed way that respects each young person’s pace and unique story.

My training has equipped me with a strong foundation in integrating the Arts into therapeutic practice. I use a combination of talking and the Arts, adapting to the needs and preferences of the child. This allows children to explore feelings that can be hard to put into words.   

I offer a free initial 15-minute phone call where we can think about whether therapy might be the right step for your child and we can discuss next steps at this point.
