Hilda Mendoza
Dip. Psych. UKCP
Integrative Arts Psychotherapist

I trained as an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist in London at the Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education and in Santa Barbara, California at the Violet Oaklander Institute for Child & Adolescent Therapy. I have been working with children and their families for many years.

Initially I was a counsellor in mainstream schools and had a private practice in Brook Green, London. At present I am part of a team of psychotherapists at Family Futures, a non-profit organisation that works with severely traumatised children and their families.

In my work, apart from talking therapy, I use play and a variety of art media, which I have found effective in helping children to express, in a non-verbal way, their problems and feelings.

I come from a multicultural background and I am fluent in Spanish.
