My Approach

We believe families of all kinds hold the resources they need to work their way through difficulties and our role is to help in the discovery or releasing of those resources. We won't be giving you advice or telling you what to do, but we will be using our extensive experience of working with families to look together with you for 'the light at the end of the tunnel'.

About Me

Alongside a family therapy colleague, I work in a partnership known as Treehouse Tales Family Therapy Services to offer family therapy sessions tailored to families' needs. My colleague and I have extensive experience of working within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in the NHS, providing therapeutic support for families who are affected by sadness, worry, self harm, trauma, eating disorders and gender dysphoria, to name but a few of the issues that arise in general CAMHS services. In addition I have 5 years' experience of working with young people within a Youth Offending Service, and I have extra training in working with families where children have exhibited violent behaviour towards parents. Our family therapy sessions can take place in person in Poole, Dorset, or online using Zoom Pro, to your convenience. See our website for further information, including costs. We usually work together in the room, which ensures that multiple perspectives are taken into account. Additionally, I can offer supervision as a qualified systemic supervisor, registered with the Association for Family Therapy.
