My Approach

My approach is to meet the child or young person at their point of need, and to learn about their world. My goal is to accompany them in their therapeutic journey by creating an environment where they may feel safe to explore difficult thoughts and feelings at their own pace and rhythm.

Where it feels right for the child or young person, I work creatively with elements of play including sand-tray, image and object making, and movement to help a them make sense their challenges and adversities.

I believe that working in this way, with patience, presence, curiosity and care, can foster enduring healing - and transform a client's perception of themselves, their significant relationships and the world around them.

About Me

I am an integrative child and adolescent psychotherapist and work with children, adolescents and young adults who experience a range of issues including developmental trauma, depression, low mood and anxiety, self-harm, neurodiversity, teenage pregnancy, eating disorders, social exclusion, and questioning gender and identity. I also have experience in working with those who have been fostered or adopted.



I offer parents a reflective space to think about their child or adolescent. The duration of the work may be short or long-term and is dependent on the needs of the child or young person and the family. I work with the network around the child or young person when required, including teachers, GP’s and other mental health professionals.



I also offer one to one therapy, consultancy and reflective space for teachers and parents in schools, and have worked in a local authority service supporting young adults transition from care to independent living, and in an NHS community perinatal mental health team working with mothers and babies.
