Emotion regulation is often described as something autistic and ADHD people struggle with, as though it is simply an individual deficit. But what if the problem isn't a lack of regulation? What if emotional distress is an understandable response to chronic overwhelm, sensory demands, masking, burnout, repeated misunderstanding, and environments that expect people to adapt without adequate support?

How did we come to view emotion regulation through a deficit lens? How can we reframe this in a neuro-affirming and compassionate way?

Join our next In Conversation webinar with Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou, where she will discuss this topic with this webinarā€™s chair, Dr Myrto Kakoulidou.

Too many young people aged between 16 and 24 are falling through the cracks in support, with poor mental health making it harder to access employment, education and training opportunities.

Alan Milburnā€™s interim findings in the NEET report highlight the need for a range of urgent actions to tackle this generational crisis, including improving access to early intervention mental health support.

The approach to tackling this must reflect the reality that young people want to work and overcome the range of barriers getting in their way.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14753634.2025.2589910 Weā€™re very pleased to share that Phil Adlem, who completed his clinical placement with us at The Henry Centre, has recently had a journal article published on Taylor & Francis Online.

Phil is a graduate of Birkbeck, University of London, and it is always meaningful to see former trainees continuing to deepen their thinking and contribute to the wider psychodynamic literature.

Publication marks an important professional step ā€” reflecting intellectual rigour, clinical commitment and the confidence to enter the analytic conversation.

Warm congratulations to Phil on a well-deserved achievement.

A recent article by Alex MacLeish from our Westcliff team, published on the Counselling Directory, explores the complex experience of parents disowning their children.

Itā€™s a thoughtful piece on rupture, loyalty and the psychological cost of estrangement.

I am Helen Viana, a devoted Psychodynamic Psychotherapist committed to guiding both children and adults toward emotional well-being and personal growth. The intricacies of how early experiences influence our emotions have always captivated me.
My journey in this field is fuelled by a genuine desire to offer compassionate care and support to individuals of all ages, with a particular focus on children and their families. With over 20 years of experience as a psychologist and psychotherapist, my initial training in clinical psychology in Brazil sparked my passion for working with children and families, leading me to pursue further studies in early infancy and parental guidance.
Driven by a profound interest in psychodynamic studies, I earned a Masterā€™s degree in counselling children and adults with distinction from the University of Essex, solidifying my role as a Psychodynamic Counsellor.
In my work with children, I've learned the importance of creating a secure and empathetic space for them to freely express their feelings. Grounded in psychodynamic principles, my therapeutic approach recognizes the significant influence of a child's early experiences and relationships on their emotional landscape.
Acknowledging the crucial role of the family in a child's life, I collaborate closely with parents and caregivers to offer comprehensive support, aiming to cultivate a nurturing home environment that enhances a child's emotional well-being.
Beyond my therapeutic practice, I'm dedicated to raising awareness about children's mental health issues, actively participating in community workshops, seminars, and webinars to share insights and knowledge with parents, educators, and fellow professionals.
If you're seeking a supportive space for your child's emotional growth, I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out and schedule a consultation.
