Miss Andrea Guida Malkum

About this Service

I specialize in anxiety, panic, depression and phobias.

I also work with OCD, attachment issues, social anxiety, school- based difficulties, development disorders and low self-esteem.

I provide a safe space for you to express your feelings, thoughts, be heard, learn different coping strategies, problem solving techniques or behaviours to deal with the current challenges.

 

Using  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we work with how our thoughts influence our  feelings, behaviours and physical reactions.

 

The first sessions are to explore the difficulties. After we set goals, I offer a range of practical exercises, such as a thought diary and behavioural experiments, for you to try out new ways of dealing with real life situations. Between sessions I set exercises for further practice. Each session lasts 50 minutes. It will take between 7 and 15 sessions.

Qualifications

Are you a parent of a young person who is feeling anxious, withdrawn or depressed?

 

Is your child experiencing panic attacks, refusing to go to school or avoiding social situations?

 

And  you – are you experiencing stress, sleeping problems, constant worrying, feeling overwhelmed?

 

We live in challenging times in which our mental health has suffered. Children and adults are facing stress, anxiety, difficulties coping at school and work and developmental delays.

As an experienced therapist I understand these difficulties and how it impairs your quality of life. I appreciate your effort to look for help. I know that those difficulties can be transformed into self-discovery and personal growth, with motivation and appropriate guidance.
