Children (6 to 10) Counselling in Cambridge

I am an experienced therapist and have worked in the NHS for 10 years, initially qualifying as an Occupational Therapist and more recently as a family and systemic psychotherapy enabling me to offer a broader psychotherapeutic service to individuals, couples or families who might be seeking a safe space to explore particular themes or dilemmas they are facing. I have experience working across the life span and have specialised in working with children and families over the past 5 years. Prior to this I worked with adults with complex trauma. I offer an inclusive space which is sensitive to your needs.

Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand and cope and the circumstances surrounding us do not allow us to explore . Sharing thoughts and feelings has been one of the most refreshing, relaxing techniques. A lot can be achieved if it is done in the company of a trustworthy, experienced, trained professional, who is willing to be a part of your world. You will be bringing and sharing yourself with me. I will listen, understand and walk along with you on your journey of finding your way through the paths you find difficult to walk on. I will help you build a comfortable environment for yourself, without being judgemental .

I work with infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and their parents. My expertise lies in parent-child relationships, anxiety in early childhood and adolescence, ASD and trauma. I believe that both the parent and the child are integral to the therapeutic process. Sometimes the parent will be present in the therapy room, and at other times, the child and the parent will attend separately. The medium of therapy with the child depends on their age; for younger children, therapy involves play and play-based activities, gradually transitioning to a more conversational approach as they grow older.

If you find that you have lost yourself a little, your brain feels clouded with worry or that there are psychological barriers to not being well, then therapy can help start you on your journey to wellbeing. I believe in people and will work with you at your pace, to ensure that you have the tools to navigate life’s complexities. I am personable and non-judgemental, I will work to build a trusting relationship with you to help you safely explore change.

Hello! Welcome! Asking for help can be so very difficult, and at a time when you may be feeling at your most vulnerable.

I work as a Person-Centred therapist, very passionate about the potential of every individual that I encounter. The time spent in therapy is your time, a space just for you.

I am a fully qualified Child & Adolescent counsellor. My approach is child-centred and integrative; I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques to meet the needs of each individual. Establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the core of my work, this enables a child and young person to express themselves and meet them where they're at. We would meet for regular weekly sessions in my practice, which is specifically designed & equipped for working with children.

Throughout my therapy sessions I encourage my clients to use a variety of art materials such as sand tray, paints and clay as a way for young people to express themselves. I believe these materials can be incredibly helpful in enabling a young person to express feelings. I believe that this can support a child to articulate what they may be struggling to verbalise.

I qualified as an Art Psychotherapist in 2009 and since then have worked in the community delivering art therapy in schools, eating disorder units, palliative care and in the Young Adult Service. For the last 5 years I have mainly worked with children and young people as well as their families and run a private practice alongside. My training was essentially psychodynamic but since qualifying I have completed further training covering family systems, narcissistic and domestic abuse, addictions, codependency, and play therapy.

Dr Tej is Consultant Clinical Psychologist with 25 years clinical experience across Infant, Child and Adult mental health services. In her clinical practice with adults, her expertise is in helping identify and work through intergenerational cycles of trauma – or trauma with a small ‘t’, such as complex developmental trauma/family trauma/narcissistic abuse, scapegoating, chronic shame, feeling stuck not knowing how to break relational patterns.

At times in our life, many of us feel unbalanced in some way. We may know there is something there, that there’s something to unravel but feel unable to access what it is – for others we know what’s causing us discomfort but feel unable to share with friends or family members. I can provide you with a confidential space to explore and unravel whatever is going on for you - without judgement and at your own pace. We can work together to reach your potential as a individual, allow your thoughts and feelings to become clearer & the mental dust to settle, perhaps make changes & move forward positively in a way comfortable to you.

Hi, I’m Francesca, a Cambridgeshire-based Highly Specialised Clinical Psychologist, registered with the HCPC. I have worked in the NHS for the last 7 years, supporting people across the lifespan with mental health difficulties and/or neurodiversity. I have a particular interest in working with young people as well as family members and carers, ensuring they receive essential support so that they can continue to help their loved ones through their difficulties.

Are you struggling with stress, feeling overwhelmed or unhappy? One of your loved ones finding life rather hard to cope with? Perhaps you are at the end of your tether with your partner and fearing the worst for the survival of your relationship. Or does it just needs a bit of TLC? If you are looking for some effective and compassionate help, for someone to listen and understand your difficulties, and help you find some relief and answers, then why not reach out and let's talk it through and see if I can help.

I never set out to work with a specific kind of person, however, around 70% of my clients tend to be women aged between 30 and 45. They worry, feel stressed and not good enough. They often find themselves saying 'what if' all the time having lost their zest for life without any knowledge of why! It might be triggered by past traumatic events, the challenges of juggling life, family or work. These feelings might be a new, unexplained experience or they may have been around for decades. Does this sound like you? Even if this doesn't, you may be like the other 30% of people I work with, and you matter too!
