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.

Georgie Gee
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
Adolescence can be a turbulent time and a consistent space is needed to think through problematic dynamics in the home, at university or going into 6th Form. Young people are often struck down by negative thought cycles that impact their confidence, self esteem and motivation. Cultural issues can also impact ones self-esteem. I offer a non judgmental space, which can establish clear thinking, and identify aims and goals such as regulating one's emotions, controlling anger, challenging negative self perceptions. I am also able to offer insights/psycho education on emotional well-being without which we can all struggle with our mental health.

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.
