Jackie van Roosmalen

I started my professional journey as a creative arts therapist and I worked in community settings including residential homes, schools and mental health centres. I then worked for several years as a health care assistant in an in-patient adolescent hospital before starting my clinical training. Whilst training I worked in Brent CAMHS for 6 years and post qualification I worked as a Highly Specialist Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist in Sutton CAMHS for 7 years. I set up an Independent Practice in 2014 and this is where I currently work.

MACP, MBACP. I qualified in 2006

I am a child and adolescent psychotherapist expertly trained to work with young people up to the age of 25 years. I work with people who experience a range of issues that challenge mental health including anxiety, depression, deliberate self harm, trauma, bereavement, gender issues, eating and food related difficulties and relationship issues. I work with parents who are concerned about their children and who need a supportive relationship within which to reflect on their parenting and their relationship with their children. I offer brief and long term individual psychotherapy as well as parent/child psychotherapy. Additional to analytic psychotherapy I integrate Mindfulness and Energy Psychotherapy techniques into my work and my training as a craniosacral therapist informs my practice. I have nearly 30 years of specialism in child and family mental health in in-patient and out-patient NHS settings and in independent practice.
