Juraj is a Highly Specialist Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist with extensive experience of working with children, young people and their families, offering safe therapeutic space to process complex feelings and experiences.

Juraj has worked in various educational settings, including early years centres and a secondary educational and behavioural difficulties school for over 10 years before qualifying as a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. Since qualification he has worked as part of various multidisciplinary Child and Adolescent Mental Health services in south-east London, offering treatments to very small children and infants, but also to school-aged children and older adolescents in crisis. He has worked extensively with their parents and families.

Juraj has a clinical interest in parent-infant and parent-child relationships, focusing his research on attachment strategies and parental responses. He has completed a professional doctoral training with the Anna Freud Centre and UCL, writing his thesis about parental representations and disorganised attachment.

All of this work experience and in-depth training have given Juraj a thorough sense of developmental journey through childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, which he now uses to inform his way of working therapeutically with children and young people, understanding and addressing issues relevant to their age and stage of development.

The aim is to create a stronger sense of the child or young person, within themselves but also for their family and wider community.
