Psychological therapies across the lifespan

Psychological therapy can provide a space to understand emotional difficulties, relationships and patterns of behaviour, while considering both what may be happening in the present and how past experiences may continue to influence the way a person feels, thinks and responds.
Children, Adolescents, Young People, Young Adults
From childhood through to young adulthood, therapy can help make sense of difficulties they may be struggling with, including anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, trauma, loss, eating difficulties and other emotional or behavioural concerns.
Where appropriate, therapeutic work may also involve parents or carers. This can help those around a child or young person develop a clearer understanding of their behaviour and emotional responses, consider what may sit underneath difficulties, and identify more helpful ways of supporting them.
Jessica and Maria are highly experienced in providing therapeutic support for neurodivergent people. Understanding how neurodevelopmental differences such as autism and ADHD may affect communication, relationships, emotional regulation and a young person’s experience of themselves and others, as well as the impact of their experiences over time.
Adults
Julia and Maria offer psychological therapy for adults, including psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Therapy can offer adults an opportunity to understand current emotional difficulties, recurring patterns and relationships in greater depth, while developing different ways of responding to challenges. It may be helpful in relation to anxiety, depression, low mood, trauma, self-esteem, compulsive patterns and other emotional or psychological difficulties.
Julia and Maria have experience working therapeutically with neurodivergent adults. They understand that therapy can provide a space to explore the ways in which neurodivergence may shape a person's sense of self, relationships and identity across different stages of life.
