Andreea Mota
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Are you worried about your child or teen's anxiety, OCD, emotional outbursts, or difficulty focusing at school and home? Maybe they're stuck in cycles of worry, checking, or needing reassurance that something bad won't happen. You may be trying everything yet daily routines still feel stressful and unpredictable. Watching them struggle or shut down when emotions get too big can feel exhausting. Perhaps you've noticed signs of ADHD or anxious thinking that are harder to manage. You want to see them feel calmer, more capable, and able to get through their day. With the right support, real change is possible. I am here to help.
I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, ADHD, OCD, emotional regulation difficulties, and behavioural challenges. I also support parents looking for practical guidance and reassurance. Families often come feeling overwhelmed and unsure of the next step. Together we focus on building structure, strengthening coping skills, and growing confidence.
Working with me feels calm, collaborative, and encouraging. I focus on building trust and creating a space where your child or teen feels comfortable expressing themselves at their own pace. You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I offer a free consultation so we can talk about what your family needs and whether working together feels right.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

My goal is to help your child feel more confident, resilient, and equipped to thrive.
