Hello, my name is Manuela. I'm a qualified Child Counsellor and Parent-Child Therapist. I'm a Trainee Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist & Counsellor. I work individually with children from aged 2 / 3 to 17. For my Parent-Infant Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy training, I work with parents during pregnancy and with their child (up to age 6). I'm currently in England but can accept overseas referrals dependent on time zone differences. I also practice in Jamaica.

My clinical experience includes:

• Child, young person and adult bereavement

• Nurseries, primary and secondary schools

• Domestic violence

• Refugee and asylum seeker children and parents

• Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)

• Child Protection Social Work

• Residential adult mental health

Making a referral:

It can be daunting to make contact with a Therapist and to speak about the difficulties you and your child are experiencing. The work is non-judgemental and confidential. Therapeutic work takes time and will take place at a pace you are comfortable with. Please feel free to share your queries.

Referral issues include bereavement, pregnancy loss, separation, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, emotional difficulties, relationship concerns, parenting difficulties or trauma.
