I am available for appointments on Wednesday and Thursday (from September) afternoons/early evenings and Saturday mornings. 

I understand that taking the first steps can be daunting, please feel free to contact me by phone or email so we can discuss your needs further. 

I am an experienced and fully qualified specialist child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counsellor working with children and young people up to the age of 25. My approach is based on building a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental environment where children and young people can feel truly seen and heard. Through empathy, acceptance, curiosity and playfulness, we develop a trusting therapeutic relationship which forms the bases of all my work.

Art can be a powerful tool for transformation, and as an integrative practitioner, I draw upon the creative arts, along with talking therapies, to facilitate the work. Incorporating imagery, drawing, sand-tray, regulating techniques and therapeutic play into the work, ensures that all my sessions are individually tailored.

 Working with the arts, enables clients to explore challenging experiences without the need for words, ensuring that the child or young person is able to access, and over time process, their emotions in a safe and palatable form.

My aim is to help your child or young person foster self-awareness, manage emotions, build confidence, and develop resilience.

After initial contact, I will send you a referral form. Once completed, we can book in a parent consultation. If we both feel that I am the right therapist for your child/young person we can book in our first session. 

I offer both short term (6-12 sessions) and long term therapy, depending on the needs of your child/young person.
