Meet Elizabeth
CHILD AND FAMILY PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Elizabeth Plaskow
Hello, I'm Elizabeth Plaskow, a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with children, young people and families, with a passion for helping my clients navigate the challenges of growing up.
I trained at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic and am a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I have worked for over seven years in the NHS with Child and Adult Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and five years in both primary and secondary schools as a child counsellor. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space where children and young adults can explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop the skills they need to thrive.
I'm committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based therapy to young people up to 25 years old and have extensive experience in helping children and teens overcome anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and behavioural challenges.
My approach to supporting clients
I understand that it can be a difficult decision to seek therapy for your child. You may be experiencing a range of emotions, from concern and uncertainty to hope and a desire for positive change. Please be assured that there's no judgment here. My goal is to listen with compassion and provide you with the information and support you need to make informed decisions about your child's well-being.
My approach to therapy is rooted in collaboration and understanding. I believe in working closely with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families to create a supportive network that fosters growth and healing. I recognise that each child is unique and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet their individual needs and strengths.
Providing you with a safe space to talk
The therapy sessions are in-person and located in Highgate, North London, with online sessions for parent consultations.
The Summit, 40 Highgate W Hill,

“I can't thank Elizabeth enough for the support she provided to my son and our family. I highly recommend her to any parent seeking compassionate and effective therapy for their child.”
