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.

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.

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

Belfast's complex history — encompassing decades of sectarian conflict during the Troubles, the Good Friday Agreement, and ongoing peace process work — shapes a therapy culture in which community trauma, intergenerational grief, and political identity are recurring clinical themes. The city has made significant strides in mental health awareness, and a growing generation of therapists trained through Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University brings contemporary approaches to a city still processing historical wounds. Belfast Health and Social Care Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in South Belfast and the university quarter. The relative normalisation of therapy-seeking among younger Belfast residents represents a meaningful cultural shift from earlier generations.
