About me and my therapy practice

Child therapy 

I work in a 1:1 capacity with children in a non-directive way/child-led.  This way of working proves successful as it’s on the child’s terms.   I use clinical data plus observable changes to measure outcomes. 

I have experience within specialist provision and main school settings. 

Group therapy

I work with children in small groups to help them overcome difficulties they may be having such as low self esteem, friendship difficulties and expressing big emotions.  

Sibling Work

This type of work includes helping siblings to find their own identity where this is an issue, plus helping siblings get along better.

Parent support

I work with parents to support their process in helping their children who might be struggling.  I use the PACE approach to guide therapeutic parenting (trauma informed) sessions.  

Parent & child therapy

I work with children and their parents in a number of ways: adult-led in a Theraplay informed capacity, child-led way in a filial informed way. Both ways improve parent/child bond and have good outcomes for children. 

Another way of working is within the Dyadic Developmental Practice DDP, a parent and child modality that is aimed at children who can express themselves with words.  It is an attachment-focused therapy that helps children and caregivers build trust and emotional connection through open, empathic, and reflective communication within a safe relationship.

Practice description

I work in a person-centred way where the values and starting place of the client is of the upmost importance to me. Respect of clients and building a strong, non-judgmental relationship is always the way I work and the ‘therapeutic journey’ is primarily in the hands of the client/s.

My first session

The first session will be used as an introduction to the modality.  The client can decide if the relationship is right for them and if this is the case, we can use this session to intake background information. 

This can be a reduced fee and time according to the client.
