Marion Laleve

I offer face-to-face therapy sessions from Tuesday to Saturday in Teddington (Richmond Borough), as well as online sessions.

In my practice, I value consistency, predictability, and reliability — qualities that help children, young people, and families feel safe and supported. I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, depending on your needs.

For longer-term work, I reserve a minimum number of sessions each year to ensure continuity and space for steady, meaningful progress. Over the years, I’ve accompanied many children and young people through their primary and secondary school years, and into university — sometimes continuously, and sometimes returning for support as new challenges arise.

I am a fully qualified integrative child and adolescent psychotherapist. I bring over 20 years of commitment to children’s well-being and mental health.

I provide a confidential space where children, adolescents and young people can explore difficulties, find relief, develop coping tools, and reconnect with a sense of agency.

I also work with parents to help them better understand their children and develop strategies that work for them. I offer assessments and consultations.

Areas I work with include:

• Anxiety
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Relationship difficulties (family, siblings, friendships)
• School-based challenges (concentration, academic pressure, bullying)
• Low self-esteem
• Depression
• Suicidal thoughts
• Emotional outbursts and regulation
• Behavioural difficulties
• Identity development
• Relational trauma
• Enuresis (bedwetting)

Face-to-face sessions take place in my therapy room in Teddington (Greater London - Richmond Borough). I also meet online.

I offer young people a non judgemental and confidential space to talk through and unpack what is troubling them. I help young people find relief, reconnect with themselves, make sense of their experience and develop healthy ways of coping with life challenges. I have in depth experience of working with complex issues. I help young people understand what might not be immediately apparent. I guide them on how to approach and manage overwhelm.

For children, a range of play and creative materials is available. I draw on various therapeutic approaches—including play, art, sand tray, and drama therapy—to support children in expressing what’s troubling them, experimenting with new ways of being, and growing in emotional maturity.

Therapy usually begins with a free initial call to explore what may be happening for the child, adolescent or young person and discuss how I might support them. This conversation may include how my approach fits within the wider landscape of available treatments, as well as information about confidentiality, privacy, what to expect from therapy, session frequency, and parent meetings.

Sessions typically last 50 minutes and are held weekly. That said, every child, adolescent and family is unique. I aim to provide a personalised approach that honours each individual context, while staying grounded in ethical standards and established therapeutic practices.

Therapy sessions are available Monday to Saturday, either in person or online. My therapy room is located in Teddington - Richmond Borough.

I have a dedicated practice supporting young adults.

This stage in life often involves significant transitions — going to university, starting a first job, or leaving home. While these can be positive steps, they can also bring uncertainty, pressure, or a sense of being unsettled.

I provide a confidential space for young adults up to pause, ground themselves, and make sense of conflicting emotions that may be making it harder to move forward.

I have experience supporting a wide range of presentations, including those relating to relationships, university or work, overwhelm, anxiety (and somatic presentation), emotional outbursts, depression, suicidal ideation, relational trauma, identity, neurodevelopmental profiles.

​We can think together about aspirations for the future, the challenges of making these real, and the pressures linked to study or work.

I offer a space to reflect on identity, direction, and independence, and to develop resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

I offer:

Introductory and one-off consultations

Counselling

Short-term and long-term psychotherapy

Face-to-face sessions

Online sessions via Zoom or other secure platforms​

Sessions typically last 50 minutes and are held weekly. That said, each person is unique. I aim to offer a personalised approach that takes into account individual needs and context, while remaining grounded in ethical standards and established therapeutic practice.

Each session provides a confidential space to explore difficulties, find relief, develop ways of coping, and strengthen a sense of agency.

Therapy usually begins with a brief initial call (free of charge) to explore what may be happening and to consider how I would support you. My interventions are grounded in emotional, and brain development, the neuroscience of emotional regulation, and attachment theory. My practice is trauma-informed. Our conversation may include how my approach fits within the wider landscape of available support, as well as practical information about confidentiality, privacy, what to expect from therapy, session frequency, and, where relevant, parent involvement.​
