I provide comprehensive support for child and adolescent issues. I specialise in aspects such as self-esteem, anxiety & mood, emotional, behavioural, social, school refusal & home issues.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
Children and adolescents are increasingly the focus of concern for many adults, including their parents and other key family members or friend. We have staff who specialise in working with particular age groups, from pre-schoolers (when the adults caring for the child are key people included in the therapy) through to older adolescents whose needs for independence are often needing to be balanced with responsibility and risk. Good therapy provided for these age groups can set the individual up for successful relationships into the future and promote their ability to seek further support as required into the future.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Katie Waller
Psychologist, BPsych (Hons), MA ClinPsych
Being a younger therapist, I know more than some the struggles adolescents face today. Social media, body image, self-harm, and school pressure is only the beginning. I am passionate about helping adolescents navigate this difficult time with compassion and confidence.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work with children and youth/teenagers primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Along with a diverse personal career background, I have a good understanding of various stressors for children and youth and how it can impact the young person, and the potential impacts for those around them. This makes it easier for me to be empathic and supportive in assisting you in finding solutions that you can feel inspired with to move forward on in your home and school life.
My aim is to assist you with your life challenges to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies for managing strong emotions that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.
