I am a UKCP and BACP registered Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, offering a thoughtful and integrative approach to supporting emotional wellbeing and mental health.

My work is grounded in the understanding that a child or young person does not exist in isolation. Alongside individual sessions, I hold in mind the wider context of family relationships, social experiences, and environment. This allows me to support not only the individual, but also the connections and systems around them, helping to foster greater self-awareness and healthier, more secure relationships.

As an integrative practitioner, I draw on a range of established psychological and psychotherapeutic approaches. This enables me to respond flexibly to each client’s unique needs, rather than applying a single model or way of working.

Central to my practice is a child-led and integrative approach. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where children and young people can explore their inner world at their own pace using a range of creative and expressive materials. This may include working with sand trays and figurines, storytelling and metaphor, puppets, drawing and painting, or sculpting with clay. For those who prefer, there is always space to simply talk.

Through play and creativity, children can express thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words. In this way, therapy becomes a gentle and meaningful process of being seen, heard, and understood.

I also work collaboratively with parents and carers where appropriate, recognising the importance of supporting the wider family in a child’s therapeutic journey.
