If you are a parent or carer who has concerns about the emotional wellbeing of your child or your adolescent, email me so I can call you back as soon as I can for a free consultation to discuss how we can move forward as early intervention is crucial.
As a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, I was trained to carefully observe children and young people and respond to what they are consciously and unconsciously communicating through their behaviour, verbally and non-verbally, through unstructured play, their silence, and other ways to communicate their emotional difficulties or distress. I have several years working in the NHS in CAMHS, and with charity organizations, providing evidence-based therapy and individual & group interventions for children and adolescents and supporting the networks involved in their care so that they can build resilience, flourish and live fuller lives.

I specialise in trauma and work with children, adults and couples.
I offer a compassionate, safe and confidential environment that supports the exploration and expression of feelings, thoughts, beliefs and circumstances that may be having an adverse effect on emotional well-being and quality of life. Sometimes we just need a space to be still and reflect, a space where we feel accepted, understood and supported in gaining a deeper awareness into why we behave the way we do, or that can offer us an alternative perspective on challenging life situations. My aim is to support you in making sense of your life and working with you in moving to where you would like to be.

I provide online individual sessions to adults and children age 6+, systemic (family) and dyadic (parent/child).
So often people suffer in silence instead of reaching out for support. Whether you are looking for a therapist for yourself or have concerns about your child, teenager or family member, I will provide an engaging and individual approach. I am an experienced artist and art psychotherapist with a private practice in my home in Richmond. You do not need to be an ‘artist’ or ‘good at art’ to benefit from making and engaging in art therapy. It is not about producing masterpieces (although you may surprise yourself). And although all materials are included and their use encouraged, art making during sessions is not a requirement.
