Julie Simpson MacLure
Psychologist, MA(Honours) MEd GMBPsS(Psychologist)
I have completed post graduate research in bullying within children's groups and research I provide a confidential email advisory service for this issue. I have utilised a circle time method to restore harmony and peaceful relationships. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do. Don’t give consent to something that may hurt.

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.

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

Estelle Dooley
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited, MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy, MBACP Reg
I offer comprehensive and empathetic support tailored specifically to the unique challenges faced by teenagers today. With years of experience and a deep understanding of adolescent development, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where teens can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through collaborative and evidence-based interventions, I empower adolescents to navigate issues such as peer pressure, identity exploration, academic stress, and family dynamics, helping them build resilience and thrive during this transformative stage of life.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked young people & their families since the beginning of my career & I am passionate about supporting this age group. I recognise the importance of working within an MDT framework, using trauma informed practice & working closely with families and significant others. For me, adolescence is such an important time for mental health support because it is the last opportunity before adulthood for creating change pathways. I believe it is vital to utilise the brain elasticity of adolesence (whenever possible) to give young people the best start to adulthood they can have.
