I am a Senior Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist with over twenty years experience working in the NHS and independently. I usually work with children and young people up to the age of 25. I also offer consultations and therapeutic parenting sessions to parents and other family members who may be caring for a child. I see children and young people with a range of needs, including trauma, anxiety and low mood. I often work with clients who are neurodiverse or have a learning difficulty. I am experienced at working with clients with histories of self harm and eating disorders.
I use play and art to help children explore their feelings although older children and young people may prefer to talk. The initial goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship in which feelings can begin to be named and understood. I may introduce grounding strategies to help a child manage overwhelming feelings of panic and distress.
When your child is experiencing distress it can be a very worrying and confusing time for a parent. I aim to help you and your child begin to develop a greater understanding of the causes of distress and to begin to manage feelings and situations more positively. I am available for advice to parents throughout their child's therapy.
