Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
My aimis to create a protected space where teens (over 13) can explore whatever is going on for them, without feeling judged or that they are expected to perform in some way. I combine clinical experience with with meditation and mindfulness to give the young people I work with something special, the opportunity to find their own sense of direction in the company of a supportive ally, eliminating that which is no longer relevant in their lives while developing new strengths.

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

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Being a teenager today comes with unique pressures. Between academic expectations, friendships, social media, family relationships, and figuring out who you are, adolescence can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional ups and downs, peer pressure, or feeling misunderstood by the adults around you. As a parent, you might notice your teenager withdrawing, becoming increasingly frustrated, or having difficulty expressing what they're experiencing.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling specifically for adolescents and teens navigating the emotional, social, and developmental challenges of growing up. My experience in educational settings, community mental health, and youth support has given me an appreciation for the importance of building trust, respecting individuality, and creating environments where young people feel safe expressing themselves.
My approach combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles to help teenagers better understand their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen self-confidence, and navigate relationships with greater awareness and resilience.
I also recognize that adolescence often involves balancing growing independence with family expectations, cultural values, and the desire to belong. As a culturally responsive counsellor offering services in English and Farsi, I strive to create a supportive space where teenagers can explore their identities, express their concerns, and feel respected without fear of judgment.
Whether you're a teenager looking for someone who will genuinely listen or a parent concerned about your adolescent's emotional well-being, I would welcome the opportunity to help. Together, we can work toward building confidence, improving communication, and developing the skills needed to navigate adolescence with greater emotional balance and self-understanding.
