About Me
I am a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience working with children, young people, parents, and families across NHS and private settings. I am ACP-accredited and based in Sevenoaks, offering thoughtful, compassionate, and developmentally attuned care to young people up to the age of 25. My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and tailored to each child or adolescent’s unique emotional world.

Who I Support
Children, adolescents, young adults (up to age 25), and their families

Common concerns
Anxiety, panic, OCD, low mood, trauma, bereavement, anger, gender identity, adoption, and neurodevelopmental difficulties

Areas of clinical interest
Complex family dynamics, relational struggles, self-harm, parental divorce/separation, behavioural issues

How I Work
I offer both brief and longer-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy. My approach creates a safe, consistent space where children and young people can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences—sometimes through play, depending on age and developmental stage. Therapy with me is nurturing, attuned, and deeply respectful of each young person’s pace and needs. I also work closely with parents and families, offering parent-child work, individual parent sessions, or family sessions when appropriate. Clients and families often describe my approach as calm, compassionate, and thoughtful, with a strong emphasis on emotional safety and understanding.
