I am collaborative and use permission seeking practice. I use evidence based interventions such as Attachment Based Family Therapy, Functional Family Therapy and Family Based Treatment as well as using a wide range of systemic approaches and techniques to support young people and families with a range of mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, disordered eating, eating disorders and self harm. I work flexibly and creatively to support families to understand neurodivergence and adapt family life to support their young person to manage daily life in a more manageable way.
I am a qualified Systemic and Family Psychotherapist registered with Association Family Therapy and UKCP and an Occupational Therapist registered with HCPC and Royal College of Occupational Therapists working in a child and adolescent mental health service. I have 25+ years experience working in both inpatient and community teams, working both individually and with families, parents and couples.
