Children and young people who are struggling emotionally often express this more through behaviour than with words, which can be confusing or concerning for the young person themselves and for those around them.

Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists, regulated by the Association of Child Psychotherapy (ACP), are highly skilled mental health professionals who specialise in work with children, young people, families, and parents/carers. At Fellows Psychotherapy Practice, our therapists have completed a six-year, doctoral training funded by NHS England. We are experienced in working with young people to better understand what the matter is and to help things to become clearer.

At Fellows Psychotherapy Practice, we often work with young people experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, behavioural problems, family or parenting struggles, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, difficulties around eating, Autistic Spectrum Condition, fears about the future, feeling that life has lost its point, academic challenges (including school refusal and procrastination), video game or internet addiction, worries about sexual acting out, and issues around identity - including sexuality and gender, as well as race and ethnicity.

Children and young people may not always feel aware of why they are feeling angry, frightened or confused. Being given a space of their own to explore what is happening for them with the support of a fully-qualified therapist is expected to help with everyday problems, and to improve the young person's relationship with themselves and with others - now and for their future.
