Suzy Cole

I am a child and adolescent psychotherapist. I work in private practice and have worked in schools for a number of years in London. I have worked with children and young people for over 30 years.

I offer therapy to children from 11 years old , young people up to 24 years old and families.  

The therapy that I offer is tailored to suit the needs of the individual, taking into account their age, ability, gender and cultural and religious background. I usually see clients for a minimum of once per week, people can be seen for shorter or longer periods depending on what is agreed by us all. I draw on a wide variety of approaches, including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, family therapy and mindfulness.

I work with parents and carers of children and young people of school age directly on issues such as conduct problems, anxiety disorders, depression and self harm. I have frequently worked with parents and carers of adolescents to negotiate through this often challenging period.

I am experienced in working with families whereby the most effective intervention is to work holistically with the family members to bring about positive change.
