Mr Ben French
Child Psychotherapist
“Child and Adolescent (psychoanalytic) Psychotherapist working with children, teenagers, young adults and families.”
About Me
This psychotherapist works with children, teenagers, young adults, and their families. They help them make sense of difficult feelings and experiences. Using a psychoanalytic approach, sessions provide a confidential space to explore how past and present connect. This deep understanding allows young people and families to navigate challenges more effectively. Their consistent, thoughtful presence offers a valuable match for those seeking lasting insight and stronger relationships.
Approach
With young clients and their parents I focus on careful listening that traces feelings back to everyday moments and relationships, helping each person name what matters. I offer regular sessions in Eastbourne and online, keeping a steady, predictable pace so children, adolescents and carers can feel safely held between meetings. Sessions blend close observation, reflective dialogue and targeted assessment to clarify patterns and shape practical steps parents can try at home. This approach suits families seeking steady understanding and modest, lasting shifts in how they relate.
