Work with children and adolescents :
I am an a senior child and adolescent psychotherapist registered with the UKCP, BACP and HCPC. I am also a senior supervisor and psychotherapy trainer, who has been working with children and families for over 24 years and have trained therapists at Cambridge University and The Institute for Arts In Psychotherapy and Education. I have worked in the NHS, statutory and voluntary services and set up a therapy service in schools funded by the Children's Fund. I have trained with the Tavistock Clinic and with The Institute for Arts in Psychotherapy and Education, London.
I work with children from 3 years old to older adolescents/young adults and see young people presenting with a range of issues.
I have experience and additional training in working with issues around gender and/or sexual identity, particularly for children and adolescents.
Support for Parents and Carers
As I am additionally qualified as a child and adolescent psychotherapist, I have extensive experience in supporting parents who are struggling in their relationship with their child.
The pain and frustration of not being able to have the relationship we wish for can be very challenging. This support is less about short term ‘quick fix’ parenting strategies, but more about exploring how our relationships with our children can be coloured by our own experiences of having been parented as a child.
When we can work through and process these experiences, we can make different choices in how we parent our children. This can lead to deeper, longer lasting change and a richer, more fulfilling parent-child relationship.
I am trained as a Mentalization Based Family Treatment Practitioner and so can offer work for you as a family. This model is short term (6-12 sessions) and was developed by the Anna Freud Centre. It involves a mix of discussions and games to help a family to better understand each other and communicate.

HERE FOR YOU:
In my practice I seek to offer a space that feels free of social discrimination based upon one's race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, age, class, education. My hope is that this becomes a place where you feel safe enough to explore these areas in your life and in our relationship.
