My Approach

My main focus is to help you or your child to understand yourself, your situation, relationships, feelings, your internal world. With greater understanding comes more acceptance of yourself, more compassion and the experience of being able to trust and feel more confident in who you are and the choices you make.

I work with the client, using whichever tools best suit their needs and personality and can use a combination of talking therapy, mindfulness practices, metallisation, guided visualisation, art and sandplay therapy.

I am also a trained mindfulness teacher for children and teenagers, I run ten week mindfulness courses with large groups of students and teachers and also bring mindfulness practices into my one to one work.

About Me

I am a highly experienced and qualified child, young people and parent psychotherapist and supervisor offering both long and short term therapy in person and online to adults and to children

I am experienced in working with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, family issues and low self esteem. I currently work in private practice as well as within an NHS CAMHS team in Barnet where I carry out regular mental health assessments, short and long-term treatment and pre-diagnosis for ASD and ADHD.

I am a sensitive, thoughtful and warm therapist, specifically trained and with over twenty years of experience in working with children, teenagers, young adults and adults.

I do this work because I believe in the value of therapy, as a tool to help you feel better, understand yourself more fully, gain a more positive sense of self and achieve greater wellbeing. For children/teenagers this translates into feeling happier and more able to make friends and focus academically.

I create a welcoming and confidential space in which children, young people and adults are able to relax, talk freely and explore all the things that are concerning them. I have a range of art materials and games in the room, which children may choose to use, since they tend to express themselves through play within therapy.

I also offer therapy sessions via video.
