Services for families and young people

My Family Psychologist provides a range of tailored assessments and treatments both face to face and online.

My Family Psychologist’s ethos is to provide a highly responsive, evidence-based, and bespoke service to improve your family and child’s well being.

In the last three years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50%, (The Children’s Society, 2022).

95% of GPs say that Child and Young People’s Mental Health Services (CYPS) are either in crisis or very inadequate, (Supporting Teenage Mental Health, 2022).

Suicide rates for 15-19 year olds are the highest they have been in 30 years. There is an urgent for government support as the teenage suicide rate had jumped by over a third, (Disability Rights, 2022).

Experienced, Empathic, and Evidence-Based Psychological Care.

With your child or teenager in my care, you can rest assured that my training, professional and personal experience blends to provide a unique, highly individualised and bespoke service.

Psychological therapies have a strong evidence-based and a high level of success especially when aimed at younger people. Young people are continually developing; their brain is still in development and their personality has not fully formed. As such, a highly tailored approach is required, unique to the young person and their specific needs. These approaches are also tailored to the unique culture and society in which we now live, such as social media, technological advancements, and image pressures for example, and the very different experiences to which older generations faced.

With up-to-date processes and a positive approach to therapy, especially child therapy and psychology we have built great relationships with many patients and supported, not just them but their families for many years.

We create environments of mutual trust and confidentiality. Rest assured that we will treat your child or teenager with respect, care and thoughtfulness throughout each of their sessions with us.

Why choose me?

Heidi Burke

"Luisa has really supported us, as a family. My daughter has reflected how Luisa is very understanding and really engages with all issues raised and empathically reflects this. Luisa has developed a wonderful relationship with Lilly and I can honestly say I trust her advice completely and have welcomed her support through some very difficult times. Thanks Luisa."

Kirsty Speirs

"Luisa has made me feel so much better since I started seeing her. She never makes me feel silly or that things aren’t important. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve cried in sessions and I’ve come out feeling much better. After years of being fobbed off with CBT constantly, I’m so pleased I started seeing her and she has been an amazing support throughout what’s been a hard time in life. 100% recommend!"

Clare Stevenson

"Luisa supported me through the final stages of my divorce. I found her to be both intuitive and practical. Her ability to balance compassion with her vast knowledge, meant I felt not only listened to and cared about but also left my sessions feeling capable and empowered. I feel lucky to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her"

Tina Garde-Evans

"Luisa is funny, down to earth and honest. She is kind and cares about her clients. She is very knowledgeable and will fight your corner all the way. She is very approachable if you have a problem outside of your appointment time and will ensure she responds. She is all round an awesome person and I am pleased to have met her"

Jemma Devine

"I immediately felt comfortable with Luisa. She allows for flexibility in her approach and methods, challenges appropriately and has supported me in working through some long held beliefs that were holding me back. Her experience and knowledge in so many areas dealing with individuals, families and couples has helped in all aspects of my life. Would highly recommend for all."

Rishabh Sinha

Combining both professionalism and personal charm, Luisa provides a rather unbeatable service. From having room to talk and put words to your own feelings to being guided through it by a preeminent expert, her approach is always adjusted to what will create an optimal environment for you - and with her clinical expertise and experience, she is always able to formulate unique & tailored guidance on working with how you feel. Finally, you'll have an incredibly easy time building rapport with her (vital), making the hardest parts of a session still feel comfortable & productive. Highly highly recommended.
