Being a younger therapist, I know more than some the struggles adolescents face today. Social media, body image, self-harm, and school pressure is only the beginning. I am passionate about helping adolescents navigate this difficult time with compassion and confidence.

Vanessa Harnischmacher
Counsellor/Therapist, Bach of Social Science (Psychology), Grad Dip Couple and Family Therapy.
I am passionate about supporting parents to understand and develop strategies to support their child or adolescent's wellbeing. This means children are not labelled or stigmatised and helps to strengthen the bond between parent and child. I utilise attachment theory and neuropsychology to help you provide the most effective support for your child.

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.
