Hema Patel is an experienced integrative therapist in the fields of children's counselling and psychotherapy - offering children aged 7 years and over a safe space to come and discuss the difficulties they are facing.

Children’s therapists are experienced in tackling behavioural, emotional, social, and psychological difficulties by using different therapeutic methodologies. Hema is an expert with great demonstrable outcomes with the children she has seen and treated. Child therapy can be life-changing. Teaching them to deal with the difficulties they experience, and providing coping skills and guidance is very effective. 

Hema uses a variety of child therapy techniques for children and adolescents to help them overcome whatever barriers are preventing them from leading a normal life – she is experienced and very compassionate. As part of the work, Hema may invite parents and guardians into sessions to help best understand the difficulties the child is facing and secondly put a more manageable plan in place. 

We know that talking therapies are very effective. Having someone independent to talk to, as opposed to a parent has successful outcomes for some very complicated emotions. 

Children who are struggling mentally, can cause parents to feel lost and suffer in turn but having experienced trained children’s counselling can help family relationships return to a normal state.
