I work with children and teens (5-17 yers) and families who feel like 'misfits', and who have not grown up 'normally'. I often find that behind these behaviours is a need and when that meet is not met these behaviours become bigger and it's harder to connect with the individual. Together we can sit down and as I listen to you we create a new narrative together and different story of who you are. Maybe this is you or your child and you feel lost, lonely, sad and depressed and no one to help, if this is you, then we have a chat and get you where you want to together.

I support clients of all age groups from young children, adolescents to adults. I create an individually tailored approach to meet the unique needs of each person as everyone's emotional response to a situation is uniquely complex and based on their own personal experiences and life circumstances. Even if a client feels stuck in unhelpful or destructive patterns, I help them to develop a genuine understanding of their circumstances and options moving forward. Drawing on a background of evidence-based psychological theories and therapeutic models, I incorporate a number of counselling techniques into my practice.
