About me

Welcome to my practice.

I bring over 20 years of commitment to children’s well-being and mental health, supporting the developmental journey from early childhood through to young adulthood.

I am registered with the BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I subscribe to the BACP code of ethics.

How I work

Therapy sessions and parent consultations are available Monday to Saturday, either in person or online.

Therapy usually begins with an initial call to explore what may be happening for yourself, your child, or family, and to consider how I would support you. My interventions are grounded in emotional, and brain development, the neuroscience of emotional regulation, and attachment theory. My practice is trauma-informed. Our conversation may include how my approach fits within the wider landscape of available support, as well as practical information about confidentiality, privacy, what to expect from therapy, session frequency, and, where relevant, parent involvement.

Sessions typically last 50 minutes and are held weekly. That said, each person and family is unique. I aim to offer a personalised approach that takes into account individual needs and context, while remaining grounded in ethical standards and established therapeutic practice.

Each session provides a confidential space to explore difficulties, find relief, develop ways of coping, and strengthen a sense of agency.

For children, a range of play and creative materials is available. I draw on different therapeutic approaches — including play, art, sand tray, and elements of drama — to support expression, exploration, and emotional development in a way that feels accessible and appropriate to the child.

As a therapist, I’ve spent over 10 years working closely with children and adolescents in care—supporting them through therapy, advocating on their behalf and working systemically with other professionals.

In my private practice, I work with a wide range of challenges and adapt the course of therapy to each child, adolescent and young adult. My training in attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, psychodynamics, play and arts therapy allows me to shift my approach and offer a wide range of tools.

I also work with parents to help them better understand their children and develop strategies that work for them. I offer assessments and consultations. I look at ways to digest and apply our ever increasing understanding of mental development.

In a former life, I practiced as a solicitor. During that time, I volunteered for a charity focused on developing SEND schools and vocational programs for young adults. Before requalifying as a therapist, I spent three years offering counselling to children in a voluntary capacity.
