Sara Aicart-Pendlebury
Art Therapist, Human Givens Practitioner (HG.Dip.P), Member of Human Givens Institute, IFS therapist Levels 1&2, Narm Practitioner
I work with children and adolescents, using an indirect play-centred, or art-centred approach. This enables us to address issues together without, creating an atmosphere of overt therapy for young people. Often with a couple of fun paintings (that you can take home and admire!) we can address fears or attitudes, behaviours and even trauma

I believe that with the right kind of support, even longstanding difficulties can shift. Therapy offers not just symptom relief, but the possibility of deeper understanding and lasting emotional growth.

Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
Children and teens react to stress or trauma in a variety of ways. School grades might drop. The child could procrastinate, have memory problems, or become distracted, self-critical, perfectionist, irritable, depressed, anxious, or violent. They might sleep too much or too little, have headaches or stomach problems, disordered eating, panic attacks or develop habits like hair-pulling or biting their nails. Teens might be sullen and uncommunicative and turn to potentially addictive behaviours like drinking or drugs, video games or pornography, to manage their stress. They may also turn to influencers and may take on new and disturbing belief systems.
If the child or teen is worried about their own behaviour or ability to manage complex situations, and is looking for help, then therapy offers a chance to learn more appropriate coping skills to use in daily life.
At the first session, I will listen to your concerns and those of your child to get an overview of the situation. For younger kids, it is often not necessary to explain in detail that they are going for "therapy." You could simply say that they will be having a relaxed and quiet time in which they will listen to stories and use their imagination to solve their problems.

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.

Southampton's identity as a major port city — historically the departure point for the Titanic and still a global cruise and cargo hub — shapes a culture tied to maritime industry and international movement, with therapists frequently encountering the particular stresses of seafarer families, shift work, and the psychological demands of port logistics careers. The city has two major universities — the University of Southampton and Solent University — creating significant student mental health demand alongside a substantial research and professional community. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the Shirley, Portswood, and Bitterne areas. Southampton's significant communities from South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Eastern Europe drive growing demand for culturally competent and multilingual practitioners.
