Counsellors for Teens in TW11

I am a BACP registered Integrative Child and Adolescent Counsellor, specialising in working with children and young people aged 4 to 18. Additionally, I am a therapeutic parenting practitioner with over 16 years of experience supporting children and families, including those with neurodiversity and school-related anxiety. My approach involves helping children and young people express strong and difficult feelings in a safe and supported manner. I utilise various artistic mediums such as clay, paint, puppets, sand tray, stories, poetry, and music to help clients make sense of their experiences.

Whether you are an adolescent, adult, sports person or busy executive there are some common themes that resonate with my clients: Finding it hard to make decisions - fear of getting it wrong and constantly worrying/Being less tolerant, irritable over things that wouldn't normally bother you/Needing to do everything perfectly and setting high unrealistic expectations resulting in procrastination/Never feeling you have done enough/A very critical internal voice - Exhausting! Most of my clients want to quieten that negative voice and find ways to achieve and live life without the gnawing anxiety and self-doubt

With over 16 years of experience in the field of child and adolescent psychotherapy, I have worked within the NHS and the private sector providing therapeutic interventions to young people facing various mental health challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked with various multidisciplinary teams and have been instrumental in developing and implementing effective treatment plans for young individuals and support to their families.

I am an HCPC registered and Chartered Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsych) with 20 years of experience. I previously worked in adult primary care and CAMHS services in the NHS as well as in private practice in Harley Street and Canary Wharf and inside big corporations. I am the author of two parenting books published by Penguin and regularly appear in the media. I currently work privately with adults, parents and young people.

I am an integrative Counsellor with many years experience in the field. I draw from different approaches to counselling to work with you to gain a deeper understanding behind what you are struggling with such as depression, anxiety, or feeling alone or stuck in life or in relationship. My aim is to work together with you to enable you to enrich your life, for you to reach your potential, freeing you from your difficulties for you to live a richer and fulfilling life.

I have extensive training including a Master's degree in Psychotherapy. My own experiences relating to family dynamics, a career in the mental health sector, motherhood, relationships and loss are reflected and undoubtedly beneficial in the way I work. Professionally, I have a breadth of counselling experience working with adolescents and adults who have sought therapy while grappling with a range of challenges impacting their lives. I have also worked extensively with family carers who can, for example, feel isolated, depressed, stressed, anxious, resentful or angry.

It can be really hard asking for help. It can be even harder to think about your own needs when you’re so used to caring for others. What if we’re seen as a failure for not being able to do it all on our own? It can make us feel stuck, trapped even, behind our own smiles and silence. But I see you and I hear you. Life doesn’t have to feel this way. A lot of my clients find it hard taking up space, who have built their lives on prioritising the needs and feelings of others, leading them struggling to identify let alone ask for what they want.

Hi, I'm Sarah, a registered counsellor based in South West London. Perhaps you have experienced a significant loss, or are finding it harder to get through each day without fully understanding why. Life is full of challenges and sometimes we may need help to support us through them. I am here to help you find a way through whatever it is you are facing at the moment. My approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and collaboration.

Welcome. You've taken the first step. I believe the genuinely supportive presence of another is invaluable; particularly one who is removed from our everyday life, and thus can listen with a completely open attitude. It feels particularly good to be received in this way; our guard can finally drop and in so doing we learn new things about ourselves. There's no deeper way to self-understanding than this. We change to the degree to which we can, unflinchingly, look at ourselves in this way. My aim is to facilitate this process by helping to provide such a space.

My name is Tania and I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in Kingston Upon Thames.

I offer both short term and open-ended counselling and my aim is to help you make sense of whatever is happening in your life and empower you to make positive and lasting changes.

Growing up can be hard and modern life presents many challenges for young people. Perhaps you are a parent, having noticed your child seems sad, withdrawn or not themselves. They may seem worried or anxious. You may be a young person yourself, struggling to manage the unrelenting pressure of society, education, social media, friends and family. Perhaps you are the parent of a much younger child, wanting to learn new ways of managing their behaviour or worries. Whatever your reasons for being here, thank you for visiting my profile. Please get in touch to discuss your concerns and how I can help you to find a new way forward.

I'm a BACP and NCPS registered integrative mental health therapist & psychodynamic counsellor qualified to work with clients aged 16yrs and over. My approach is integrative and draws on a range of therapeutic approaches including PCT, CBT, TA, Jungian Psychodynamic.

Life is difficult, confusing and scary sometimes, we can feel misunderstood and overwhelmed by issues that seem to multiply by the day. Perhaps you have a vision of where you want to go but no way to get there, perhaps even planning what you want for dinner is a struggle. You may be anxious, depressed, lost, grieving, searching for direction or struggling to cope with it all. I understand. Speaking about emotional pain can feel risky. Discovering the honesty and courage to put your experience into words can contribute to developing insight, self-confidence and self-respect.

Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I will offer a safe, non-judgemental space, where we can explore the difficulties you are facing. I am calm, warm and open, with a deep respect for your uniquness and individuality. My aim is to build a trusting relationship with you, to help you find the peace, change or growth you seek.

I am specifically trained, at Masters level, to work therapeutically with children, young people, and families as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I am also a qualified teacher with experience of working with children who have been diagnosed, and or who identify as neurodiverse. In addition to my private practice, I work as a school counsellor and I volunteer in a Youth Counselling Service. My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I use the ideas and strategies from a range of therapeutic models, matching the best approach suited specifically to your or your child’s needs.

While there are many different approaches to psychotherapy and counselling, I work principally within the psychoanalytic tradition, a key part of which is to work in collaboration with clients to try to understand the unconscious origins of difficulties affecting our lives in the present. The aim is not to give advice, but to support people who have reached a point in their lives where they feel themselves to be facing difficult, sometimes confusing feelings and states of mind, to offer a reliable place to come and be listened to, without fear of being judged, criticised or told what to do.

Everyone experiences a wide range of feelings in life. You may be experiencing difficulties at home, work, college or university, with relationships, health and other life struggles. You may have reached a point in life where you need more than a friendly ear and I appreciate that seeing a counsellor can seem overwhelming. My aim is to provide a professional, but warm, confidential non-judgemental, caring, safe environment where you and I can explore your difficulties together. I place a lot of emphasis on our relationship, with us getting to know each-other and working collaboratively to improve your wellbeing.

I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the unique challenges and complexities that ADHD presents in their lives. With many years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep understanding of ADHD and its impact on individuals across the lifespan. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences related to ADHD. Together, we will explore the unique strengths and challenges associated with ADHD and work to develop effective strategies for managing symptoms.

Hello, I am Aldona. You are here so maybe it means you are thinking about counselling or psychotherapy. Investing in mental health is as important as physical. Anybody can benefit from therapy no matter what age or gender you are. It can be very rewarding because it helps you be the person you want to be. In these times of uncertainty, uneasy economic and political situation; isolation, bereavement and also historic emotional issues could be experienced more frequently and intensively. Difficulties experienced for a prolonged time can lead to somatic problems. “A good life is a process, not a state of being" (Carl Rogers)
