My therapeutic approach is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed, drawing on a range of therapeutic models to meet the unique needs of each child, young person, adult, or family. I place particular importance on creating a safe, collaborative, and compassionate therapeutic relationship, recognising this as the foundation for meaningful change. Alongside specialist experience in adoption, special guardianship, attachment, and developmental trauma, I integrate EMDR where appropriate to help clients process difficult experiences and build resilience. I also support parents and carers through NVR-informed therapeutic parenting, helping strengthen relationships and promote positive change within the family system.
I am an Integrative Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist registered with the UKCP, working with children, young people, adults, and families in Bromley and the surrounding areas of South East London and Kent. Trained at Terapia, I have extensive experience supporting clients across a range of educational, clinical, and community settings.
Early in my career, I worked in both primary and secondary schools, providing therapeutic support to students and collaborating closely with parents and teachers. During this time, I also facilitated a therapy group for Year 8 boys experiencing difficulties with school attendance.
I have since worked at PAC-UK and Family Futures, developing over six years of specialist experience supporting adopted children, young people and adults, children and young people subject to Special Guardianship Orders, birth parents, and wider family networks. Alongside direct therapeutic work, I support adoptive parents and special guardians through NVR-informed therapeutic parenting approaches (Level 2).
I am also trained in EMDR, having completed Parts 1-3 of the Adult EMDR training and Level 1 Child & Adolescent EMDR training.
I now work at The Lifespan Practice in Bromley, offering EMDR therapy, integrative psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults, therapeutic parenting support and clinical supervision.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
