About our Clinical Director and Founder

CY&A Psychology is a small practice of like-minded, experienced CAMHS clinicians.

I started the practice fifteen years ago with a commitment to provide high-quality evidence-based interventions in a personalised way. I wanted to create a practice that was focused on young people but avoided the traditional age boundaries separating child from adult services. I believe that young people benefit from completing their treatment at their pace with the possibility to return if they need to as they face other transitions and challenges moving into early adulthood.

I am proud of the range of therapeutic interventions we offer and the expertise in our team. As a group of clinicians we share this commitment as well as our passion for supporting young people’s mental health.

What our clients have said...

As a teenage boy suffering from anxiety it was a very hard time, however having someone that could not only help, but also give me the ability to help myself was amazing. Clare gave me strategies to cope and get back to being the confident teenager I am now. I can’t thank her enough.

We have found our interactions with Dr Kaanan to be nothing short of wonderful. She has a wonderful manner with children and an expert view of how to tackle difficulties. We have been thoroughly impressed by her patient and kind nature coupled with her experience and expertise. We would not hesitate to recommend her. Our children and family are thriving as a result of our interactions.

Great experience all round, great help with booking/admin, Dr Manners was a perfect fit, my daughter has done brilliantly and puts most of her progress down to Dr Manners. Dr Manners totally understood my daughter and from the first session had a connection, I could not recommend Dr Manners enough. 

As a parent with a son suffering from anxiety for the first time it was distressing, bewildering and overwhelming. Clare helped put me and my son at ease from the very first meeting. My son has 12 sessions in total and we found them enormously helpful. As a parent, I can’t thank Clare enough- her approach was well suited to our son and the fact that we have not had to return in nearly two years speaks volumes. He still has the odd anxious moment but the strategies that Clare gave him have given him much greater resilience and self-reliance.

Pippa is very good at asking questions in a way that it’s easy to answer. It feels more like a normal conversation. She is good at understanding when to keep asking questions and when to talk about something else. A very different and more positive experience than in the past.

The team are empathic, compassionate and understanding. Stephanie has also been most accommodating and supportive, making the whole process so much easier.

I was first referred to see Clare by my Psychiatrist while experiencing episodes of depression and anxiety. Over the years I have seen a number of clinical psychologists and psychotherapists but none have had as much of a positive impact on my mental health as Clare. From the first session she created an atmosphere of trust and compassion that enabled us to explore in depth the roots of my problems while feeling completely safe and secure. She was then able to develop strategies to help me to help myself during stressful situations and circumstances. Something that has been instrumental in helping me to complete my degree.

 

Dr Manners is outstanding. She helped us through a difficult time with our son, with understanding, kindness and professionalism. We could not recommend her more.

I brought my adolescent daughter to see Dr. Manners for a series of challenges related to school and social issues. We both greatly benefitted from the sessions. We found her sensitive, encouraging and very constructive in finding concrete solutions to the difficulties we were facing.
