Child Counselling in London

I specialise in working with children/young people and adults utilising techniques like cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction, but my main focus is always on building a strong, supportive relationship with my clients.
Warm welcome to my profile. My name is Rhys and I am an Integrative therapist and supervisor, helping people find their path to mental health and well-being for over 10 years. My approach is all about working together authentically and collaboratively with my clients, listening to their unique and wonderful stories, and finding solutions that work for them. It's not easy reaching out for help and the fact that you are here I can only imagine has taken you a lot of bravery to show up here which is commendable. I offer a safe space to allow clients the opportunity to explore and reflect deeply in a non-judgemental environment.

After completion of my MA in Transpersonal /Integrative Child, Adolescents and Family Therapy in 2018, I now also take on children and adolescents, using play and art therapy as well as sand tray therapy to help to resolve trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and self harm.
My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

I have extensive experience working with young people and children with complex needs, SENDS, profound and/or multiple disabilities, challenging behaviour and trauma etc.
Hi, my name is Mary and I am a registered Music Psychotherapist and qualified Neurologic Music Therapist working across London.
Therapy shouldn’t feel like a one-size-fits-all lecture. That’s why I blend psychotherapy with creative, neuroscience-backed tools like Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT)—a powerful way to engage the brain’s natural capacity for healing, especially when words aren’t enough. Whether you’re seeking traditional talk therapy or a more experiential approach, we’ll work together to untangle the roots of your challenges and build a path forward.
You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s start the conversation.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches complimented with a creative style of working which can be tailored to best meeting the needs of an adult or the needs of a child.
Counselling can help you to explore and work through emotional difficulties you may be experiencing that could be affecting your thoughts and behaviours. It is a space for you to share things that you may be finding difficult to talk to your friends and family about. These difficulties may be from your past that are now causing problems in your present or from a more recent trauma you have experienced in your life such as a relationship break-up, loss of someone close to you or difficulties with getting to sleep or sleep not feeling like sleep anymore, but feeling more like an escape.

I am a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist who recently retired from the NHS, after over 30 years of dedicated work in Children and families mental health.
