With almost 10 years of experience of helping children and young people, I'm BABCP accredited and hold a registration with the NMC.
Hi there, I'm Chris. Have you or a loved one been struggling to cope with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or low? Maybe social situations are difficult to face, or work and studies are harder to manage? Perhaps you've been experiencing really difficult unwanted and intrusive thoughts, or feeling driven to repeat certain actions. Doing the things that you used to be able to do maybe just feels too heavy. If you're a loved one, maybe you've noticed your young person change from how they used to be. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help by providing a safe and open space to support you in overcoming these challenges.

I’m Dr Laura Surley - Clinical Psychologist and founder of NeuroNest Psychology. I have worked in NHS psychology services for 16 years and in private practice for 4 years. My passion is working with people who have brains that work differently, also known as neurodivergence. I have chosen to specialise in working with people of all ages to better understand how their brains work. I want to support people to explore their neurodivergence through specialist neuropsychological assessment, and to help people, and those around them, to understand how their unique profile of strengths and difficulties translates into everyday life.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Newcastle upon Tyne, ENG provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Newcastle upon Tyne build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
