Annika Ancverina is an Integrative Child and Young People’s Psychotherapist who completed her Post Graduate training in Integrative Arts Child and Young People Psychotherapy at IATE, following a BA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, UAL. She has worked therapeutically with children and young people across a range of settings, supporting clients through emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges.
In the therapy room, Ms Ancverina brings a collaborative and integrative approach. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), humanistic, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and somatic models, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), PACE, Gestalt, and Play Therapy, and adapts her approach to the individual in front of her. Annika has a particular interest in mindfulness-based practice and the use of creative arts as a therapeutic tool where it suits the client.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering clients as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.
Ms Ancverina works with children and young people facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, emotional dysregulation, and behavioural difficulties, and has specialist experience in navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, neurodiversity, and relationship difficulties.
Alongside her clinical work, Ms Ancverina has a broader interest in creative arts, yoga, and wellbeing practices, reflecting her commitment to holistic approaches to mental health.
