I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist with 10 years experience of working in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. I provide a warm, supportive space to help children and young people to explore their thoughts and feelings, understand themselves and overcome their difficulties. I work with young children through to adolescents and people aged up to 25. I see children individually or with their parents or carers and offer short or long term psychodynamic psychotherapy. This is play based for younger children.

I have expertise in working with a range of presentations including depression, anxiety, attachment difficulties, trauma, behavioural issues, low self esteem, emotional dysregulation, gender difficulties, self harm and suicidal thoughts.

My NHS role focuses on providing psychodynamic psychotherapy to children across the age range and supporting parents or carers. I also liaise with schools and other healthcare professionals to provide joined up holistic care. I adopt a caring and collaborative approach and aim to get alongside my patients and their families to support them through the challenges they are facing.
