We’re delighted to introduce Amanda Aldin, who is our highly skilled and compassionate Child and Adolescent Therapist here at Clear Mind in Harrogate.
She is a fully qualified person-centred counsellor and registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy)
Amanda has been handpicked for her expertise and dedication for supporting young people through a range of different issues. She is also a specialist SEN teacher working with children and young people who are experiencing social, emotional and mental health difficulties and receiving SEN support in school or college.
Amanda specialises in helping children and adolescents (ages 11–17) who may be experiencing:
Anxiety and worry
Low mood or depression
Confidence and self-esteem struggles
Difficulties at school or home
Coping with life changes
Emotional challenges linked to autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodiversity
Amanda works closely with both children and their parents to provide a truly collaborative approach to therapy. She takes the time to understand each child’s unique thoughts, feelings, and experiences, creating a safe and compassionate space where they feel heard and valued.
She helps young people develop practical coping skills, build emotional resilience, and gain confidence in managing everyday challenges. By working alongside parents and carers, providing guidance and insight so the whole family feels supported and empowered throughout the therapeutic journey.
This dual focus ensures that children not only learn strategies to manage their emotions but also feel secure knowing their parents are actively involved and understanding the problems that they are having.
Her therapeutic approach combines:
Evidence-based techniques – practical tools to help children manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Creative and age-appropriate strategies – ensuring therapy feels engaging, relevant, and empowering.
Family involvement – working closely with parents and carers so children feel supported both in and outside of sessions.
