Nella Maguire

Once a safe and trusting relationship has been established, Nella aims to help the child or teenager explore their thoughts and feelings, increase self-awareness and develop new ways of coping. 

Nella’s integrative training allows her to personalise how she works with each client and in an age-appropriate way. Nella combines humanistic therapy, attachment theory and a trauma-informed approach. She embraces using the arts and imagery to explore emotions and incorporates psycho-education and CBT techniques to help teenagers better understand and improve their mental health challenges. With younger children, play becomes powerful tool for communication and transforming experiences.

Nella’s experience includes working in schools and charity settings. She has supported young people feeling sad, anxious, angry or struggling to cope with the effects of trauma, bullying, divorce, bereavement, self-harming behaviours and issues relating to body image. She is also experienced in supporting neurodiverse children.

Parent-Child Therapy: Nella offers individual support for parents/carers who are struggling in relationship with their child. Sessions focus on thinking together about the meaning behind your child’s behaviour and how to move from stress-inducing to stress-reducing interactions
