Children & Adolescents
Helping children and adolescents, through our therapy sessions, make sense of their thoughts, feelings and experiences. My role is also to help their parents and carers of children understand these needs and struggles so that they too can be supportive.
Working with adolescents, often within the school setting, I am able to help them make sense of these changes that they are experiencing and so provide alternative ways of thinking, feeling or behaving.
Parents/Guardian
Parents/Guardians may feel worried or overwhelmed when they feel disconnected and distant from their children/charges. They can feel at a loss at what to do and powerless at how to help.
Adults
Working with adults, I can provide a supportive, confidential space where the thoughts, feelings, behaviour and difficulties being experienced can be safely explored. Within this space, your emotions, the troubles you are facing and how these may shape or possibly curtail your quality of life can be addressed.
Supervision & Consultation
As a psychotherapist, I offer professional supervision. This consultation is available for professionals which include psychotherapists, counsellors, trainees on counselling, psychotherapy courses, social workers, school and nursery staff, foster carers and kinship carers.
