About me
Through the therapeutic process, we will aim to build understanding and insights into the issues and difficulties that brought you into therapy. To help you build some resilience to deal with the past and the present and move forward.
I offer a service to children, adolescents, and young adults to allow them to begin to understand and explore how their past experiences have impacted on their lives, to be able to regulate their emotions and behaviours in order to cope with life’s challenges. Often the problems experienced are related to or are the result of past traumas or even just finding it hard to cope with life generally with all its pressures and difficulties. I can also see families and parents who can sometimes struggle to understand the problems facing them as a family unit. I am offering a safe and non-judgemental space, where we can begin to understand.
I offer both short and long term psychotherapeutic interventions to Children and Adolescents/Young Adults, as well as parents and families. I will initially complete an assessment and offer weekly appointments which last for 50 minutes.
I offer therapeutic support for a wide range of issues including:
Anxiety, Low mood/depression, Low self-esteem, Mood disorders, Anger issues, Abuse, Loss and bereavement, PTSD, Trauma and advise on other issues and problems.
My name is Gabriella and I seek to work collaboratively with my clients and offer in person or online appointment, if appropriate.
