I have more than 20 years experience working in Child and Adolescent mental health services with children and families with a wide range of difficulties including autistic spectrum conditions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), adoption, depression, anxiety, behavioural issues and eating disorders.
I am a highly experienced Family and Systemic Psychotherapist who works with families, couples and individuals. Currently I am working on-line. I specialise in child-related issues but I am also very experienced in working with adult families where there are relationship issues or unresolved difficulties from the past. My work with couples, often with a female colleague, is often when there is a desire to improve the relationship and rediscover some of the joy that may have been lost.

Family life can be full of drama, from adolescent struggles to parental conflict, from family feuds to experiences of love and loss. When families are faced with problems and experience difficulties in their relationships, self-help is often the first natural response. However, sometimes, self-help is not enough and can lead families to feel stuck. It is at this point that it can be beneficial to access professional help. My name is Pooja Bhambra, I am a UKCP registered systemic family psychotherapist. My approach to working with families is to see each member as an individual, who is influenced by multiple contexts.

I work with a variety of issues including self-esteem, anxiety, depression, marital/relationship problems, stress, work related issues, addictions, teen problems and many more.
We all need help from time to time, and you shouldn't be embarrassed for asking for it. I am a down to earth and compassionate person, who understands what it is like to need a boost. In my years I have truly heard it all, and my biggest goal is to empower rather than judge my clients. One of my favourite quotes comes from Marisa Peer who explains that “to be happy you have to make peace with your past, love the present and feel so excited about the future”. No problem is too big to solve and I have witnessed counselling change the lives of so many people and I know I can help change yours too.

My speciality is EMDR and I work for the NHS and (other settings including adolescent , drugs and alcohol, physical health and private practice) have done so full time for the last 25 years so.
I focus on changing your trauma (s)/issues (large and small ) which ultimately changes your perceptions and your life. For the better. Most people don't realise what trauma is or how it can dominate or even just highly influence how you think, respond, behave or do or not do in your life. Every decision or choice goes through the filter of experiences and if they happen to have been negative or bad experiences it doesn't bode well for a successful or happy life. So change them. www.westendtherapy.org OR 0746 9738 588.

Reaching out for support on mental health and emotional well-being issues for your child or teenager may feel like a daunting experience. In the same way, being a young adult and searching for the right mental health professional to share your feelings and concerns with, feels difficult as well. However, it is the right choice. We can work together in a way that best suits you or your child’s needs and create a safe space for self-reflection and self-discovery. I am a fully qualified integrative child and adolescent counsellor for children and young people and a qualified primary teacher.

Teen Counsellors

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
