Counsellors for Teens in W7

Melissa has a background as a Special Needs Teacher working for ten years in mainstream schools supporting children with specific learning difficulties, in particular ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia and OCD. As a Child and Adolescent Integrative Psychotherapist she uses a variety of techniques and methods, such as art, play, symbol, metaphor and various media, to help children and adolescents who are experiencing difficulties with their emotions or behaviour. Melissa recognises that children and adolescents sometimes struggle to put their feelings into words and therefore supports her clients to express their feelings safely in different ways.

With a passion for fostering growth and resilience, I provide a safe and compassionate space for you to explore, understand, and navigate the challenges you may be facing. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual. I believe that everyone has the capacity for positive change, and my role is to guide and support you in unlocking your potential. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing stress, or addressing more complex issues, together we can work towards solutions that align with your values and goals.

I am a senior accredited psychotherapist/counsellor with over 11 years experience including both in the NHS and private practice, as well as the Honorary Secretary for the London-based Southern Association For Psychotherapy and Counselling (SAFPAC). I am also a member of the UK Balint Society and have continued my training and development with SAFPAC, the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP), London and the CG Jung Institute of Los Angeles, California, United States. Originally, I trained as a prehospital care ambulance and helicopter air ambulance flight paramedic and hold over 19 years clinical experience.

If you are feeling stuck, trapped, unable to cope with life demands, then it might be a good time to share the load and talk about it in a safe, confidential setting, where I can offer a warm and empathic counselling that might give you clarity in the difficulty that you are facing at this point of your life.

Hello, my name is Sarah. I am an integrative psychotherapist who primarily focuses on ensuring that my client feels comfortable to explore hidden truths, emotional pain and daily struggles. I offer short & long term therapy, that can be face-to-face, via Zoom, Skype or telephone. There are many different reasons that can bring us to therapy. You may be struggling with emotional difficulties, finding meaning, going through a transition. You may be experiencing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, or simply feel that something just isn't right. My approach focuses on assisting you to work through dynamics that may be keeping you stuck.

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, which means that I am trained at doctoral level to deliver a range of evidence based interventions. I have worked clinically for over 8 years, providing psychological support to children, young people and adults with a range of difficulties, within the NHS and other public sector settings.
