I am a child and adolescent psychotherapist with more than 13 years experience working in the NHS, CAMHS teams and private sector. I offer brief, medium and long term psychotherapy for children and adolescents, and also support to parents and carers. I have experience treating adolescents with depression, psychotherapy for care experienced children and university students with mood disorders. I also offer psychotherapy for children who have a diagnosis of autism and ADHD who suffer from emotional difficulties.
Working with children and young adults is so rewarding. The challenges they face can be overwhelming but at this stage of their development the right approach can prevent years of harmful attitudes and behaviours. The techniques used with young people and the theoretical basis for our work with them takes into account their developmental stage. It can be helpful for the family to be involved and we are often asked to liaise with school or college to advocate on behalf of the young person.
It is important that I create a supportive and safe environment for the young people and adolescents that I work with. This can be done through the development of a trusting relationship and the use of appropriate interventions.
One of the most important factors that I consider when it comes to developing a safe and effective environment for the young people and adolescents is the impact of social media and family dynamics. This is because I know that these factors can affect their well-being and overall self-worth.
