Open Door is a charity (and company limited by guarantee) that provides confidential counselling and psychotherapy to young people aged between 12 and 24, and a separate consultation service for parents of teenagers.
We are based in Haringey, north London. We can see young people living in the London borough of Haringey. Regrettably we no longer offer a young people's service to residents of other London boroughs because they are unable to provide funding.
Open Door also runs an innovative Parenting Teenagers Project called the PTP. This service is a free and confidential service, where parents can discuss their worries in private with a parent advisor about their parenting and their concerns for their teenage children. The service is available to all parents including parents who may need an interpreting service.
Open Door's professional team are highly trained and experienced in working with young people. The therapists at Open Door can help young people feel comfortable and able to talk about themselves. Therapists adapt their approach to find a way of supporting the young person, help the young person identify the problem they need help with, and work out the best approach for Open Door to take. The psychotherapists work with a supportive psychotherapy approach and usually provide once weekly appointments.
Open Door offers short, medium and longer-term one-to-one psychotherapy at its main centre in Crouch End and also at a satellite based at The Laurels Healthy Living Centre in East Haringey. Both centres have facilities for disabled people. We offer mostly daytime appointments during weekdays and have a limited number of evening appointment times at our centre in Crouch End. Appointments at The Laurels are more restricted. Please ring us for details.
Appointments are provided free to young people under the age of 18. Young adults over the age of 18 will be asked to make an small and affordable contribution towards the cost of providing their appointments, this will be discussed with the therapist in the initial appointments. Young adults who are unable to afford a contribution will be seen without making a contribution.
