Our approach
Dr Merrett uses a range of evidence-based therapies tailored to individual needs, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Schema Therapy, Mindfulness, EMDR for trauma, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Clinical Hypnosis. Rather than adhering to one particular approach, he bases his intervention on what will best suit your adolescent's specific situation and goals. Sessions are delivered in a comfortable, safe environment designed to support young people in understanding themselves better and working through their difficulties at their own pace. He is committed to providing an inclusive and affirming space where adolescents feel heard and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.
