Balbina Garza Delgado (MACP, MSc UCL/Anna Freud Centre)

About me

I am a qualified psychotherapist with years of experience working with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, attachment difficulties, eating disorders, social difficulties, and self harm amongst others. I work with children, adolescents and their parents as well as with young adults.

I am interested in helping adolescents and young adults transition into their new stage in life. Many young adults struggle to cope with their increasing independence and responsibilities, while at the same time needing to continue with their internal emotional development . At times, managing the external demands and internal changes can feel overwhelming and a therapeutic space and input can support them throughout this difficult process.

Alongside working with young people I am passionate about working with parents individually, to help them gain an understanding of their children and family dynamics. At times, when it is difficult for a child or young person to engage in therapy, direct parent work can have a positive impact on the issues that are worrying for the family. At other times, when a child is having their own individual therapeutic space, parents can also benefit from their own space as a way of understanding the current dynamics and process of change.

I will offer you a safe space to explore what is worrying you when you are ready. During our first appointment we can discuss your needs and hopes for treatment and explore the different therapeutic options. Confidentiality and safety are of utmost importance in my practice.

I am able to offer therapeutic help in both English and Spanish.
