Aimee Griffin

As a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist specialising in children, adolescents, and parents, I strive to create a warm, accepting, and compassionate space for you and / or your child. I use creative methods to help my clients understand and express themselves and their emotional world, which can lead to improved relationships with self and others. I believe in building authentic, trusting therapeutic relationships and work closely with you and your family to promote healthy communication and overall wellbeing.

I also work with adults and couples, supporting them in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and how past experiences impact current relationships. My therapy sessions offer a safe space to explore and address any distressing unconscious belief systems.

Areas I Work In

With extensive experience in schools, charities, and private practice, I support young people and families with:

• Neurodiversity
• Trauma
• Addiction
• Life transitions
• Anxiety and stress
• Depression and low mood
• Separation and divorce
• Relationships
• Attachment
• Academic stress
• Friendship issues

I have recently published a paper on the cognitive and emotional impact of smartphone addiction on adolescent mental health, an area I am particularly passionate about.

Qualifications and Training

As a qualified psychotherapist, I hold a master’s degree in child and adolescent psychotherapy. I am a member of both the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). Additionally, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy.
