Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Childhood and adolescence are the years of most rapid development - physical, mental, emotional, and social. These are periods of great opportunity but also of significant vulnerability - adversities in childhood and adolescence can lead to longer-term difficulties and a compromised quality of life. It is therefore important for problems, including those encompassing a child, or a young person's mental health, to be addressed in a timely manner.
I work predominantly with teenagers, young adults and parents. For people who have not yet turned 18, written parental consent to access therapy, will be required. For more information and to book an appointment, please get in touch.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Being a teenager today comes with unique pressures. Between academic expectations, friendships, social media, family relationships, and figuring out who you are, adolescence can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional ups and downs, peer pressure, or feeling misunderstood by the adults around you. As a parent, you might notice your teenager withdrawing, becoming increasingly frustrated, or having difficulty expressing what they're experiencing.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling specifically for adolescents and teens navigating the emotional, social, and developmental challenges of growing up. My experience in educational settings, community mental health, and youth support has given me an appreciation for the importance of building trust, respecting individuality, and creating environments where young people feel safe expressing themselves.
My approach combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles to help teenagers better understand their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen self-confidence, and navigate relationships with greater awareness and resilience.
I also recognize that adolescence often involves balancing growing independence with family expectations, cultural values, and the desire to belong. As a culturally responsive counsellor offering services in English and Farsi, I strive to create a supportive space where teenagers can explore their identities, express their concerns, and feel respected without fear of judgment.
Whether you're a teenager looking for someone who will genuinely listen or a parent concerned about your adolescent's emotional well-being, I would welcome the opportunity to help. Together, we can work toward building confidence, improving communication, and developing the skills needed to navigate adolescence with greater emotional balance and self-understanding.

Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Children below the age of eight are unconscious and what appear to be their problems are actually solely the problems of their parents. From eight years old, children begin to develop consciousness, but this is not fully developed until age 25, when the brain has reached full development and adulthood is attained. The development of consciousness is also a gradual stepping out from the shadow of the parents. The younger the child, the less the problem truly belongs to the child. I like to see parent(s) and child, to work out what is going on, so that we can resolve the problem in the family.
