My Approach

As a Systemic Family Psychotherapist and Systemic Supervisor, I draw upon different models, including attachment-narrative, emotion focused, structural and solution focused approaches.

About Me

I have worked therapeutically with young people and their families for over 16 years, including working as a Family/Systemic Psychotherapist in Croydon CAMHS (SLAM) for over 4.5 years, and before this I worked as a Mental health nurse on Mildred Creak Unit (GOSH) for over 5 years. I completed the Advanced Diploma in the Supervision of Family and Systemic Psychotherapy in 2021 and have experience of supervising systemic family therapists and trainees in a Family Therapy clinic.

I work with

  • Children and young people
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Individuals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I completed the Advanced Diploma in the Supervision of Family and Systemic Psychotherapy in 2021 and have experience of supervising systemic family therapists and trainees in a Family Therapy clinic. As part of my supervision training I wrote a paper on 'Systemic narratives about failure - moving towards preferred learning processes in supervision'.
I have taught on the social GGRRAACCEESS for 3 years with the DClinPsych course at Kings. I also did some training on systemic formulation for the systemic family Therapy trainees at kings. I've co-authored an article in Context on the theme of self-care (October 2020).
I am very passionate about working with a trauma informed approach and the mitigating factors such as relational resilience that promote recovery. As part of my MSc in family Therapy I researched the systemic concept of resilience in family therapists at GOSH using interpretative phenomenological analysis.
