Faye West

Due to COVID restrictions in my workspace, I am currently only providing sessions remotely.

I am Psychotherapist with experience in working with young people ages 11- 25.  I am also experienced working with adults struggling to parent teens who need some support and advice.

I work with anxiety and depression in their teen. I am skilled in providing psychotherapy for young people with mild learning difficulties and ASD.

I have additional experience in working with young people with disabilities and Long Term Health Conditions. Being diagnosed as a teen or young person can be devastating and difficult to cope with.

I am a passionate LGBTQ+ ally and have worked with many young people who identify as LGBTQ+ or experiencing Gender Dysphoria and are considering transition.

I am experienced in working with young performers and young actors who require psychotherapy to support them in their acting work, and the difficulties of the industry to young mental health.

Being a teenager can be very difficult at the best of times, and struggling with low mood, anxiety, exam pressure, friendships and trouble at home can make it so much more unmanageable. I practice Integrative Psychodynamic Counselling and use Talking Therapy, Play Therapy, CBT techniques and Art Therapy to connect with young people.

I provide a friendly, safe and proactive space to be honest about how you feel and what's getting to you, and how we can move forward to make things better.
I offer short- term, targeted work and mid-term work for more involved problems.

I work one-to-one with each young person, and also encourage parental input and offer additional mediation sessions between young people and parents and the start or end of treatment.

I am a relatable and experienced psychotherapist and my skills are built on forming a strong and trustworthy relationship with teenagers, doing so quickly and backing it up with a dependable, safe and confident practice.
