Special Interests

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.

As a counsellor offering supervision, I provide a reflective and supportive space for practitioners to explore their work with children and young people. My approach is grounded in clinical insight and relational depth, ensuring that supervision remains focused on the child’s lived experience, their needs, care plans, and the feedback they offer—spoken or unspoken. I’m deeply attuned to the emotional impact this work can have on practitioners. In supervision, I help supervisees recognise how their own feelings and responses may be shaped by the behaviours and emotional states of the children they support. Together, we examine these dynamics with curiosity and compassion, enabling practitioners to remain emotionally resilient, ethically grounded, and professionally confident.
I’m a counsellor dedicated to supporting children and young people who have experienced severe abuse, neglect, and early life trauma. My mission is to help break the cycle of trauma for future generations by providing compassionate, trauma-informed care and therapeutic intervention. I create warm, nurturing environments where children feel safe, valued, and emotionally secure—spaces that allow healing to begin. Through my work, I help young people build resilience, form healthy relationships, and unlock their potential. I believe that with the right support, every child can move beyond survival and begin to thrive.
