My Approach

Communication difficulties and breakdowns in our relationships can occur for many different reasons. When they occur, the partner, child or indeed whole family or even friends might be affected and become involved in some way, and this has a knock-on effect on us and others. Changes in family life, whether in somebody’s physical health, their relationships, or in children's' behaviour, can be effectively addressed in family therapy. I aim to adopt a non-blaming, collaborative approach to working with clients to find ways of moving forwards in life when feeling stuck.

About Me

I am a parent, a life partner, a daughter and a sister and have experienced many of the challenges that these roles can bring. I grew up in Africa, as a third culture child and have worked as a speech and language therapist for acquired communication disorders for many years. Through this work I realised that communication is key to our relationships; the stories we tell about ourselves shape how we experience the world and our relationships with others. I published a book in 2021 on supporting families who experience communication difficulties, and I completed my MSc in Family Therapy in 2023.

Ba(Hons) Language and Linguistic Science (University of York)
Postgraduate Dip. Clinical Communication Studies (City University London)
Msc family therapy (Kings college London)
