My Approach

Alongside my MSc in Systemic Psychotherapy, I am trained in nonviolent resistance (NVR), a parenting approach for any family where children or young people are showing aggressive, controlling or destructive behaviours. NVR raises the presence of an adult in a young persons life and supports the development of positive, rewarding and respectful parent/child relationships

About Me

I am an experienced systemic family and couples therapist working privately alongside my role as a Senior Family Therapist and Supervisor in an NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service. I work with families, couples, children and young people who present with a range of complex mental health concerns and neurodevelopmental challenges and who are experiencing difficult family dynamics. I am happy to be contacted to arrange an initial (non-chargeable) consultation. This will help us decide if we want to work together or if it would be more helpful for me to suggest a different approach.

I offer an online service and fully accessible, face-to-face appointments which are held within The Old School in Spondon, Derby.

I am experienced in court mandated work.
