Based in BS9 area of Bristol

I am a highly experienced psychoanalytic child and adolescent psychotherapist based in the BS9 area of Bristol (UK), working with children and young people age 0-25. Psychoanalytic means that there’s no agenda in advance, we work with whatever comes up in the therapy room and make sense of that (whether this is talk, play or other communication). This type of therapy helps to explore what may be causing certain feelings, thoughts or behaviours, enabling change at a deep level.

I can help with a range of difficulties including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, bereavement, gender & sexuality concerns, self-harm, social difficulties, school / avoidance, eating or sleep issues and exam stress. For small children emotional difficulties can often present as “problem behaviour”. I can also work with parents and children together, where this is needed or where the work is about the relationship(s) rather than the individual. I can offer therapeutic parent support if you would like a space to think about your child, which can be on a one off / ad hoc basis or more regular sessions; this can also be a space to offload, think about parenting approaches or think about useful resources, agencies and support available.

I am registered with the Association of Child Psychotherapists, and I have a current DBS (disclosure and barring) certificate. I trained at the Tavistock Centre (London) and have experience working in private practice as well as in CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health service), the voluntary sector and as a teacher in mainstream and specialist schools for children with social, emotional and behaviour difficulties.

For small children therapy often takes place through play, games, music and arts and crafts, as children can find it easier to communicate thoughts and feelings this way. I help them (and you) to make sense of feelings, thoughts and behaviours, it’s not necessary that a child can put this into words. For adolescents and young adults therapy is often through talking, though body language (and silence) can also be powerful ways to communicate; drawing materials, fidget toys and other resources can be provided where this feels helpful. There’s also a couch for anyone who prefers to lie down.

My consulting room is within easy access to train services (Severn Beach line) and bus routes as well as with ample free parking. See my website for up-to-date information about fees and practical arrangements (georginataylor.co.uk). I am committed to working inclusively and with clients from diverse backgrounds or with disabilities: please do talk to me if you might need any adjustments so that we can explore if these are possible.

NLP, CBT, Hypnotherapy & counselling therapists for children & teens

At NLP4Kids we help children and their families overcome a vast range of problems. Typically these fall into the mild mental health and wellbeing areas such as anxiety, confidence issues, habits and phobias though we can help with more serious problems such as self harming, eating disorders and learning difficulties too.

Our practitioners are all DBS checked, insured and have undertaken first aid and safeguarding training. They work in schools and in the community delivering sessions one to one with young people and in workshops too. In addition, our practitioners attend retraining and have access to ongoing professional development.

Whilst we are not counsellors or psychotherapists, our work can be similar to these methodologies. NLP (neuro linguistic programming) has some similarity to CBT too, but tends to work on a more emotional (rather than just cognitive) level.

There are many different elements to NLP. Some of it works with our internal thinking and the quality of those thoughts. Other aspects of NLP focus on communication, managing emotions and developing better responses to challenging situations.

Many of our practitioners have trained in additional therapies, such as hypnotherapy.

As well as working with children and teenagers, we also work with parents and teachers or others who have influence and intervention with young people. This could be via workshops or in one to one coaching sessions.

Whether you are struggling to support a stressed out child or are finding it a challenge to engage your teenager in conversation, our practitioners are here to support you and your family. We always make sure that we create a good “fit” between the practitioner and the child and our free consultation sessions go a long way to ensure you find someone who will help you to achieve rapid lasting change.

Are you struggling to find the help you need for your child?
