Child or Adolescent Issues
Debbie Debonaire
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, IMTTA, Heartmath Coach
Child and adolescent abuse, addressed through Child and Adolescent Trauma Therapy, is a critical speciality focused on healing the psychological wounds inflicted by abuse and neglect. This therapeutic approach is essential for those individuals who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse in their past or current life, helping them process trauma and develop healthy coping mechanisms. As a trauma counsellor, I include evidence-based practices such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy (TF-CBT), Heartmath Principles and a holistic approach to create a safe and supportive environment. These ensure that survivors can rebuild their sense of safety, trust, and self-worth, leading to healthier future outcomes.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked young people & their families since the beginning of my career & I am passionate about supporting this age group. I recognise the importance of working within an MDT framework, using trauma informed practice & working closely with families and significant others. For me, adolescence is such an important time for mental health support because it is the last opportunity before adulthood for creating change pathways. I believe it is vital to utilise the brain elasticity of adolesence (whenever possible) to give young people the best start to adulthood they can have.

Katie Waller
Psychologist, BPsych (Hons), MA ClinPsych
Being a younger therapist, I know more than some the struggles adolescents face today. Social media, body image, self-harm, and school pressure is only the beginning. I am passionate about helping adolescents navigate this difficult time with compassion and confidence.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
It is important that I create a supportive and safe environment for the young people and adolescents that I work with. This can be done through the development of a trusting relationship and the use of appropriate interventions.
One of the most important factors that I consider when it comes to developing a safe and effective environment for the young people and adolescents is the impact of social media and family dynamics. This is because I know that these factors can affect their well-being and overall self-worth.
