My Approach

I work as a systemic family therapist. I integrate concepts from other schools of therapy, for example psychodynamic psychotherapy, where they appear to fit the persons I am working with. As a Children's Guardian I have worked with parents and children whose cases are before the court, I am able to work with separating couples and separated couples to offer therapeutic work where the court process stops short. I also have experience in working with grandmothers, aunts, uncles who look after another family member's child, for example special guardians. I offer therapeutic trauma work with children and estranged family members.
I am also trained in working with families affected by another family member's drug use.

About Me

I am a systemic family therapist who qualified in 2022. I am of German origin. I have a background in Children and Families Social Work. I have always been passionate about understanding others and myself in the context of our families and wider systems. I trained as a counsellor, and I have done trainings in applying creative methods to working with people, for example art therapy. I have worked in a wide range of professions but always return to supporting others to change and develop. It makes sense that one person alone will find it difficult to change when the systems they are embedded in do not also change. Trainings in systemic family therapy have taught me specific techniques for working with more than one person. This could be a couple, a family, part of a family, friends or colleagues.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, good food, gardening, music, art and literature. I have a 21 year old son.
