My Approach

I have been a qualified social worker working within Child Protection for 18 years as well as being a qualified family and systemic psychotherapist so I have extensive experience of working with children in a variety of contexts and situations. I am keen to promote anti oppressive and anti discriminatory practice and focus on power and difference within my practice. I consider that problems are relational and therefore solutions are relational. I see problems as occurring between people/institutions rather that in people and so adopt a respectful, appreciative and curious stance
