Bozena Merrick

Clinical Director and CEO

Welcome

Terapia is one of the leading Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Counselling training organisations in the UK. We also provide highly specialised counselling, psychotherapy and bespoke mental health services for young people, children, parents and families, and offer our facilities for hire to psychotherapists and counsellors. 

Our training is demanding; our graduates offer the highest standard of knowledge and therapeutic skills in the psychotherapy profession. Each student on Terapia’s course is required to provide counselling and psychotherapy hours with children of all ages as well as their parents as part of their training requirements. This affords us with the potential to deliver an invaluable service to families who would otherwise not be able to afford it. We have the psychotherapeutic expertise and facilities to make a lasting difference working with other agencies and linking education, mental health and social services. We aim to put positive examples of joined up thinking into practice.

Jonathan Prevezer

Patron of Terapia

Our Patron

Jonathan was chair of the Board of Trustees from September 2014 to July 2020. The Terapia community is incredibly grateful to him for making the Bothy Centre project happen, and for his ongoing and dedicated support to our charity.

We are a registered charity based in a purpose-built training and therapeutic facility, The Bothy, in Finchley Central, North London.  After restoring the Grade II at Risk Register building and transforming it into a state of the art Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Counselling Centre, it became our new home in September 2017.  We are proud to offer play therapy rooms, counselling rooms and sensory equipment which enable us to provide high quality mental health, counselling and psychotherapy services with a holistic approach to troubled young people and children. Find out more about The Bothy Story here.
