Clinical Psychologist for Children

Hello, I’m Greg Meléndez, a Clinical Psychologist based in Richmond, London, dedicated to supporting children and young people, including teenagers and young adults, both locally and across the UK. With over 20 years of experience and nearly a decade working in the UK, I specialise in providing therapy for clients aged 6 to 25 as they navigate emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges.

I use a variety of evidence-based psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB).

I’m constantly learning and experimenting with new approaches to help clients understand their experiences and build emotional resilience.

I offer Children and Young People Therapy for a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including:

- Trauma

- Anxiety

- Depression and low mood support

- Trauma and PTSD therapy

- Aggression, behavioural challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties

- Self-harm support

- School related difficulties

- Friendship issues

- Body image and eating issues

- Neuroaffirmative (ASD and ADHD) care

- LGBT+ affirmative therapy

- Family conflict and parent–child relationship issues

- Support through life transitions—moves, divorce, bereavement, and changing schools.
