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.

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.

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

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
At their core, children and adolescents want the same things we all want: to feel safe, loved, accepted, and valued for who they are.
Beneath the tantrums, challenging behaviors, emotional outbursts, and moments of defiance is often a young person seeking connection, understanding, and reassurance that they are loved, even when they are struggling.
When children feel safe and accepted, they are more likely to develop confidence, emotional resilience, and a secure sense of self that they can carry into adulthood.
