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.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Anna Dafna
Psychologist, MEd, BEd, QTS, GMBPsS, ADHD & Executive Function Coach Accred, Leadership, Somatic & Polyvagal Cert
Children & Adolescent Coaching – Complimentary Consultation
Is your child or teenager struggling with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence?
Young people with ADHD, autism or learning differences often experience challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation and school demands. Difficulties with study and revision skills are often linked to executive function development, and many young people also struggle with confidence, social interaction and communication.
Through specialist coaching, I work directly with children and adolescents to strengthen executive function skills such as planning, organisation, study and revision strategies, sustained attention and task completion. We also work on emotional regulation, confidence, and developing stronger social and communication skills.
I support parents as well, helping them better understand their child’s needs and offering practical guidance that strengthens communication and support at home and in school.
Book a complimentary consultation to explore how we can support your child’s development, learning and wellbeing.

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
At their core, children and adolescents want the same things we all want: to feel safe, loved, accepted, and valued for who they are.
Beneath the tantrums, challenging behaviors, emotional outbursts, and moments of defiance is often a young person seeking connection, understanding, and reassurance that they are loved, even when they are struggling.
When children feel safe and accepted, they are more likely to develop confidence, emotional resilience, and a secure sense of self that they can carry into adulthood.
