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.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
If left untreated, issues from and in childhood and adolescence can stay with us into adulthood, often we need to re-visit these and see how we can work with them to resolve them. This is also for parents and siblings of the 'child' or 'adolescent' who is showing the behaviours difficulties but might well be part of a more challenging system, often a family system.

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

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.
