How can working with a specialist help?
If you’ve arrived to my website your likely at a point where you, or someone in your family, is needing support to feel differently. As a therapist with a specialism in working with children and young adults ( 7 - 28 years) I already work with families and clients who are seeing change and a rediscovery of themselves. For variety of reasons, children, young adult and families can start to develop fears, beliefs or behaviours at odds with their developmental stages, peers or previous histories.
My central role as a therapist is to support clients to start to process big feelings or emotional experiences which may be impacting their ability to thrive.
My belief in the power of therapeutic relationships stems from the fact that we are relational beings who can respond to a wider community of support in times of challenge. As we rarely recover in complete isolation, therapeutic support can provide children and young adults with an an increased experience of connection, understanding, community and hope during times of difficulty.
let’s make a start.

How can counselling & therapy help?
Strong brains, reflective minds, open hearts. No two humans or families experience situations in the same way. Sessions facilitate another space for self -learning, self- regulation & resilience when challenge comes.
Children and Young people specialism 7- 28 years
My sessions are Attachment focused, developmentally guided, trauma informed, include the body, integrate the creative arts if useful or of interest. Sessions start from where a client is today, tailored to meet specific needs.
Trauma informed sessions 14 - 30 years
We know now that the impact of trauma lives on in our bodies and nervous system long after the initial event. If useful, I can include the body, & psycho education about trauma to support pathways for healing and better understanding towards how you may be experiencing life in the here and now.
