Self-Discovery Sessions
for Teens
Welcome to Scrapsi (Beta). A new innovative online method to help young people navigate the pressures of today’s world and discover who they are and what they want to do with their lives.
Life can feel overwhelming for young people, especially today. There’s so much pressure to make decisions, and to know who they are, yet their brains and emotions are still developing and changing every day. It’s no wonder things can sometimes feel confusing or unclear.
Developed by Alex Wilding, a BACP Child Arts Counsellor, Scrapsi is an online mentoring process inspired by the traditional practice of "scrapbooking". It’s a supportive, creative process, creating a visual aid, helping young people explore their feelings, connect with their inner desires, and ultimately create a collage of images which represent who they are, and the future they may want to shape for themselves.
Scrapsi combines...
▸ Art Therapy techniques
▸ Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
▸ Carl Rogers' Person-Centred approach
to provide professional support, enabling young people to connect with their wants, needs and future aspirations!
Your child will...
▸ Feel less alone with their thoughts.
▸ Feel supported by our proven method.
▸ Feel positive about the creative, forward-thinking aspect of the sessions.
▸ Have a visual representation of each session to share and explore further.

Alex Wilding BSc, MSc, MBPsS
Founder / Facilitator
Alex is a BACP Integrative Child Arts Counsellor with an MSc in Psychology and is a published academic. With over a decade of experience working with young people, Alex has consistently observed how, particularly teenagers, often feel lost in a world that appears daunting and overwhelming.
His vision for Scrapsi is to facilitate sessions that empower these young people. Alex believes that realising dreams is possible, the hard part is working out what those dreams are. His approach is trauma-informed and deeply inclusive, especially to those who are neurodivergent, and from minority backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and ethnic minorities.
