About Chloe

Chloe Billington, Child in Time Director

I have worked therapeutically with adults and children encountering a wide range of personal challenges for the last 15 years. Although I am currently working online with 18+ clients, I bring a decade of experience with children and young people to my practice. Our childhood and our children inevitably have a huge impact on our lives.

 If it feels like the right time for you to explore your inner life more deeply, or to make sense of patterns that you notice and want to change, therapy can be a powerful tool. Early trauma or a more recent event could have destabilised your life or smaller stressors may have built up to an unmanageable load. Whatever brings you here, don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to find out more. I am available for a free 15 minute discovery call via this link. Get in touch to discuss, or Book Today.

My qualifications include a level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (for adults) as well as a Pgdip in Child and Adolescent Counselling (Integrative Arts based). My practice is affirming and relational, with an integrative combination of psychodynamic and person-centred, CBT and ACT approaches. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

About Adriana

Child in Time Therapist Adriana Buzetto

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist offering online therapy for young people aged 13–18. I have over 15 years’ experience supporting adolescents and hold an MA in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and practise in line with their professional and ethical guidelines.

Adolescence can be a complex and emotionally demanding stage of life, often bringing challenges around identity, friendships, family relationships, academic pressure and the future. Through therapy, I support young people to make sense of their experiences, build self-awareness and confidence, and develop the emotional skills needed to manage feelings such as anxiety, low mood, anger and overwhelm.

Online therapy can be a highly effective and accessible way for adolescents to receive support, and for many it is a format they feel comfortable with.

Parents are welcome to book an initial consultation to discuss their child’s needs and whether ongoing online therapy would be a helpful next step. Get in touch to learn more, or Book Today.

Therapeutic Support

Therapy for Young People (13+)

For some young people, online counselling is the preferred way to engage with emotional support. If you feel that your child would benefit from this highly professional but accessible therapy, please book in a parent consultation with Adriana Buzetto who works online with ages 13-18 to discuss your family situation. Then you can decide whether regular online counselling is the right next step for your child (ages 13+).
You can also book a free discovery call with Chloe Billington to find out more.

Therapy for Young Adults (18-25yrs)

For many young adults, the transition from home to University or the pressures of seeking employment can fuel self-doubt and anxiety. If you or your child are 18-25yrs Chloe Billington can offer an empathic and containing space to discuss overwhelming thoughts and feelings that might manifest as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, shame or anger.
After over a decade working in schools and colleges, Chloe crossed over into adult work, bringing a wealth of training and experience to this client group.

Anxiety, Depression & Identity (all ages)

Anxiety amongst young people has risen but it is also very common to experience high anxiety or depression throughout life and in retirement.
Questions around identity begin in adolescence and often return at major life changes such as leaving home, divorce or retirement.
Who am I? Why do I feel like this? What do I want the rest of my life to look like?
If you have experienced chronic anxiety or depression, we can work together towards acceptance and recovery.

Relationships & Families (all ages)

The impact of our unique family history and dynamics are lifelong, emerging with different levels of intensity and taking on new meaning across our lifetime.
We provide a safe space to deepen your understanding of the many parts of you; where you come from, what you have lost, what you have found and what you hope for the future.
‘And the end of all our exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And know the place for the first time.’ T.S. Eliot

Online Booking

FAQs

How much will the session cost?

A standard session costs £80 per single session (50mins) For 18yrs + a sliding scale payment policy operates for students/low income so please discuss in your free discovery call.

What commitment is expected from me? 

Therapy is a process that takes shape over time. It is up to you how long you commit for but 6 sessions is considered a short-term approach and many people find 12 sessions or 20 sessions a useful framework. Open ended therapy is also widely practiced for psychotherapeutic work where you start with a view to continuing until you are ready to end.

Can I contact you to discuss prior to booking?

Yes. You can book a free discovery call with Chloe prior to booking a session. If you would like to have a discovery call with Adriana, that can also be arranged. Please email chloe@childintime.co.uk. 

What modality of therapy is this? 

Chloe Billington and Adriana both work psychotherapeutically with an integrative approach, combining different approaches and techniques to suit each individual client.

What is Anti-Oppressive Practice?

As anti-oppressive counsellors we aim to challenge societal imbalances as well as discrimination and oppressions that operate within therapy, including race, gender, sexuality, disability and others.

How does online counselling work?

Once you have booked a session, you will receive a ‘pending’ email. This will be followed by another email confirming your appointment. At least 24hrs before your appointment your therapist will send you a video link for your session with a contract for you to read. If you have any queries you can ask your therapist in the first session.

What should I do before my first session?

It is quite common to start with goals for your therapy but that doesn’t suit everyone and goals often shift over time. Your therapist will travel alongside you on your therapeutic journey, so if you take a new direction, they will go there with you. It can take time to build trust before talking about sensitive issues so you may want to talk about your current situation, any previous therapy and your mental health more generally in your first session.

Testimonials

I have really noticed a difference at home, since starting her sessions, she seems
better within herself.

Parent

Therapy gave me a space to think about my insecurities, the times when I overthink, and my friendship issues.

Student

She is no longer upset in the mornings or in class. While she’s still not comfortable answering questions in a big group, she participates in lessons and does well. She will occasionally contribute in class and can ask for help when she needs it.

Teacher

It was good to share my feelings with someone whose job is to listen and understand someone’s feelings. It’s a fun place to be creative.

Student

My daughter really enjoys going to see you and looks forward to her weekly sessions. I don’t hear too much about them as I think it is important to her that they are private. She does however, want to recreate the activities at home. I have really appreciated you taking the time to communicate with me and keep me up to date on my daughter’s progress.

Parent

We feel that his attainment and emotional regulation have improved. His Dad spoke very highly of the experience that he had with you and thanked us for the referral to you.

Teacher

My son has settled in very well, has started being more confident and more comfortable speaking up. I believe the sessions with Magda have been an important part of this. I appreciate the termly face-to-face updates that Magda has provided to follow my son’s progress.

Parent

Child in Time is a wonderful organisation. Child in Time provide therapists in my current primary school and we have found the experience to be hugely supportive. The way the therapists are able to support pupils, staff and families is invaluable. I would unreservedly recommend Child in Time to anyone.

Teacher

Karen was wonderful. It’s such a helpful service – our daughter is on the spectrum, so spending an hour talking about the impact on us was truly restorative.

Parent

Empathetic, professional, knowledgeable, personable counselling. Highly recommended on all fronts.

Parent

This was a massive help to me as a parent of a child with recently diagnosed ADHD and autism. The therapist was so easy to talk to. Talking through my concerns and my son’s behaviour, has definitely made a difference to both my understanding and how to help him regulate his emotions better. I’ll definitely be booking again.
