Child or Adolescent Issues
Ken Lee
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc MA MProf
I Have Particular Experience In Working With
Early trauma, loss, and disrupted attachments
Emotional regulation and self-esteem
Identity, belonging, and difference
Complex family relationships and transitions
Neurodiversity and communication needs
Consultation with parents, schools, and professionals
I believe that with the right kind of support, even longstanding difficulties can shift. Therapy offers not just symptom relief, but the possibility of deeper understanding and lasting emotional growth.
I currently offer sessions in Ayrshire, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, as well as online. Alongside clinical work, I provide consultation and reflective space for professionals and organisations working with children and families.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.
