Angela Gribben

With over 20 years of experience working with preschool children, I am deeply passionate about treating each child as a unique and valuable individual. I believe that every child has their own strengths and potential, and my goal is to create a nurturing environment that allows them to thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively. I am dedicated to optimizing their development, helping them build a strong foundation for future success. As a practicing CBT psychotherapist, I bring specialised skills in supporting children's emotional well-being, fostering resilience, and enhancing their confidence and self-worth. My expertise allows me to provide targeted support, helping children navigate challenges, strengthen their social skills, and develop a positive sense of self. My passion lies in empowering each child to become the best version of themselves, while supporting their holistic development and well-being.

Over 20 years experience as an early years professional, caring for children from birth to 6 years, in early childhood settings. I focus on fostering each child’s holistic development—emotional, social, cognitive, and physical—through nurturing, compassionate care, fostering a safe and stimulating environment.
As a CBT psychotherapist, I specialise in helping individuals manage and overcome a range of emotional and mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem issues. Through evidence-based cognitive-behavioral techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to identify negative thought patterns and behaviours, guiding them toward healthier coping strategies and emotional resilience.
