Hello, my name is Manuela. I'm a qualified Child and Adolescent Counsellor and Parent-Child Therapist. I'm also a Trainee Child & Adolescent and Parent-Infant Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.

Child and Adolescent: Working with children and families (with children up to age 17). Sessions are held individually with the child or young person as well as work with the parent and / or parent and child together.

Parent-Infant: This work is with parents during pregnancy and with their child (up to age 6).

As well as working in schools in South London, I also have a private practice room in Bromley (BR1) and work remotely via video.

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 get in touch to discuss your concerns.

Referral issues include:

• Anxiety, depression, trauma

• Bereavement, pregnancy loss

• Bullying and peer group problems

• Education and emotional difficulties

• Neurodiversity - including ASD, ADHD

• Parental separation & divorce, domestic violence

• Parent-child relationship difficulties and concerns

• Perinatal problems; difficulties bonding with your baby or young child
