Therapy for children and adolescents in North London
Our child therapy service is lead by child psychologist Dr Gail Sinitsky. Bringing our extensive experiences within schools, NHS CAMHS and paediatric services, we provide a trauma-informed, supportive and safe therapeutic space for children and adolescents.

How we can help
Is your child struggling to cope with stressful, traumatic or distressing experiences in their lives?
Are they struggling with anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, social difficulties, and/or other emotional-related difficulties (e.g. sleep, eating, behaviour)?
Join us for our initial consultation process where we will work with you to understand your child's difficulties, highlight their strengths, and decide on a plan for therapeutic work.
Depending on what we agree, our work with children and adolescents may involve: ​​​​​​
​
- A supportive and safe space -
- Helping your child to express and process their experiences -
- Psycho-education, emotional literacy and emotion regulation -
- Where appropriate, working through trauma using specialist approaches -
- Building on your child’s strengths and personal qualities -
- Helping your child to achieve their preferred futures and connect meaningfully with people in their lives -
