My Approach

I am a psychotherapist, specialising in Family, Couples and Child Psychotherapy.

I work with families, children and adolescents where there are relationship difficulties, as well as mental health challenges. I also offer parenting support, and behavioural strategies for children and teenagers. 

I also specialise in couples therapy, using an emotionally focused approach. I have experience working with couples who are facing difficulties in their relationship, working through communication challenges and emotional distress. Additionally, I support couples who are considering separation where children are involved. 

I aim to provide a warm, safe and confidential space to talk about family life, individual experiences, or anything that might be causing pain or distress.

About Me

I have worked for over 10 years with children and families in the NHS, where I practice as a Team Lead and Senior Family Therapist.

I offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation so that we can discuss a therapy tailored to your specific needs. It also gives you the opportunity to get to know me. Having a good rapport and relationship with your therapist is an important part of therapy and leads to better outcomes.

I work with

  • Children and young people
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Individuals

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.

I specialise in family and couple relationships. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in your relationships at home, a break down in communication, or you’re struggling with mental health challenges, I can offer a safe space to work through these concerns.
I work with children and adolescents who have mental health issues. This may include anxiety and depression, as well as other presentations such as anger and isolation.
Parenting can be extremely fun and rewarding, but also challenging. I specialise in working with parents who have children or adolescents who might be struggling with their behaviour and emotions.
