Child Psychologists and Therapists in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

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.

I can help with a range of difficulties in children and young people such as depression, anxiety, eating difficulties, problems in family relationships, self-harm/suicidal thoughts, sleeping difficulties, trauma and separation anxiety.

Lisa McCafferty, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist

I am an experienced, approachable Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist who trained at the Tavistock clinic in London. For many years, I have worked therapeutically with children, adolescents and their families in a variety of settings including the NHS, schools and in independent practice. My approach is flexible and creative, integrating Psychoanalytic knowledge of child development with therapeutic skill to make sense of a child’s troubled thoughts or feelings. I am passionate about offering high quality, age appropriate therapeutic interventions that are tailored to the individual child or adolescent.

I work with a wide range of difficulties which may impact on a young person's development, relationships and school life. These include but are not limited to depression, anxiety, separation and attachment difficulties, self-harm, complex developmental trauma, behavioural concerns including aggressive outbursts, eating and sleeping difficulties, distress in relation to gender identity, relationship problems and poor self-esteem. I have a specialist interest in working with adolescents suffering from or at risk of developing an eating disorder.

I offer both long term and short term psychotherapy as well as specialist assessments and consultations to help parents, carers or professionals in understanding their child. Length and intensity of therapy depends on each child’s needs and will be discussed after initial consultation with parents/carers and usually 3 assessment sessions with the child.

I am a full member of the Association of Child Psychotherapists on whose websites you can find helpful information: www.childpsychotherapy.org.uk.

My warm and welcoming therapy room is based in a central location in Canterbury. Directions and car parking details can be forwarded on request. I also offer consultation and Psychotherapy remotely via video link.
