This may be with a partner, parents, children, friendships we are social creatures so it's no surprise these can be the root of many of our worries.
Does life feel overwhelming? Are you feeling stuck? anxious? depressed? stressed? Perhaps you are struggling to face daily life? Maybe thoughts of not wanting to be here have crept in and this has frightened you? Whether you are an adult, couple or young person, life can throw all sorts at us, things we were not expecting! Whatever your circumstances, there are times when we all need to find some emotional support to help us. We may feel unable to open up to friends or family, through fear of being judged, being given unwanted advice, being shut down and not heard. Speaking to a counsellor releases these worries.

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy can help most emotional, behavioural, psychological, social and developmental difficulties.
Working therapeutically with children and teenagers is different from therapy with adults, it requires specialist skills and knowledge. My graduate training included a Masters and 5 years clinical at the Tavistock and Portman (NHS), a world centre for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I work as a Senior Psychotherapist in CAMHS (NHS) and privately with 2 to 25 year olds, and have significant clinical experience in evidence based psychotherapy for depression, self harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, abuse, tics, phobias, eating disorders, adoption, illness, trauma, ADHD, school and family problems, and body, trans and gender issues.

I am a Child and Educational Psychologist who specialises in offering individual psychotherapy for children and young people (birth - 21 years).
Is your child struggling emotionally? Perhaps they have been dealt a blow, lost trust in others, feel confused or overwhelmed by their experiences. Perhaps unwelcome feelings are being expressed through their behaviour, affecting their relationships, schooling and denying them of care and opportunities. They could be experiencing a range of social-emotional difficulties (e.g. anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship, bereavement, neurodiversity, identity). Psychotherapy can help you and your child to better understand their problems, reduce worrying symptoms, and help them make better use of future opportunities and relationships.
