About Me

I'm a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with a passion for helping children, young people and young adults make sense of things and increase their personal resilience, I aim to empower clients so that they can shift feelings, thoughts and behaviours that have become hard to manage and understand.

The core aim of psychotherapy is to help young and adult clients feel more integrated and, as a result, feel more secure and better about themselves, their abilities and relationships.

CYP Psychotherapy
My assessment and therapeutic work with children and adolescents involves identifying needs and difficulties rather than making mental health or neurodevelopmental diagnoses. I then suggest therapeutic interventions and support plans (which may include parents/carers sessions to support reflective thinking and understanding around child and adolescent development and brain neurobiology), or I signpost to more appropriate services if needed.

My clinical work with children and adolescents tends to be medium to long-term in order to help with high levels of emotional and psychological needs.

Via Lincoln County Council I work with adopted young children and adolescents and their families.

Young Adult Psychotherapy
Huge developmental milestones take place in the journey between adolescence and adulthood and young adults can have difficulties going from one milestone to another. My specialist child and adolescent developmental knowledge and expertise enable me to effectively support young adults who are experiencing difficulties entering the stage of adulthood.

Clinical Supervision and Supervision of Supervision
I also offer Clinical Supervision services (to practitioners working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults and families) and Supervision of Supervision services.

If you would like to talk with me to discuss concerns and needs about yourself or about a young person or child in your care, or if you'd like to enquire about clinical supervision, you can contact me via a phone call or email. If I am unable to pick up your call, you can text me or leave a voice message with your name and contact details, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
