PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Georgina Lansbury is a South London-based therapist, working with children, adolescents, parents and young adults.
Who am I?
I am a Child, Adolescent and Family Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, with over twenty years’ experience of working with children and young people as a mentor and therapist. I have seen how transformative therapy can be over time, to have a safe space and place to express the thoughts and feelings that can be so confusing and difficult for children and young people to hold.
-
For children
The early years are of vital importance as they form the foundation stones of the adult the child will become. Difficulties that can arise for a child might mean support is required, as they struggle to articulate their powerful emotions. I work with children from 4 to 11.
-
For adolescents
Puberty, adolescence and the teenage years can bring confusion and all kinds of challenges, at a time when the desire to stand alone is so strong. Young people often need support with their complex emotions for multiple reasons, and I work with all ages, from 12 to 18.
-
For young adults
Becoming an adult can be fraught with potential problems, whether that is through leaving home, or entering into employment. For some it can be too difficult to make decisions of any kind, and it feels as though you are frozen, not moving forward at all. I work with young adults from 18 to 25.
-
For parents
Supporting a child or young person who is struggling, and trying to make sense of them and their behaviour, can be confusing, upsetting and challenging. I offer sessions for parents, that give the opportunity to explore, and think about, the many conflicting emotions that can arise.
School Therapy Service
Schools are struggling with the many mental health issues their pupils and students are presenting with. CAMHs waiting lists are long, and it can take over a year for an appointment, which can be stressful for school, parent and child. I have set up an in-house, school-specific therapy service, in a local Lambeth school, and I can be flexible in meeting the needs of your school and help to set up a therapy service there.
