Child and Adolescent Mental Health

Assessment and evidence based therapy for a variety of mental health difficulties for children and adolescents offered online or in Bedford.

Assessment informed short and long-term evidence based therapy for children and adolescents. I draw on a range of therapeutic models, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, compassion and acceptance focused approaches and models of attachment and trauma. Clinical training means that a range of psychological theories and models can be integrated based on your individual needs. I aim to provide a client centred approach, within a safe and non-judgemental environment to better understand the difficulties, promote psychological wellbeing and rediscover strengths.

Areas of intervention include:

• Low mood and depression

• Anxiety, worry and panic

• Phobias

• Trauma or Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

• Difficulties relating to Autism Spectrum Condition, including post diagnostic support

• Low confidence or self-esteem
