I offer art therapy and somatic counselling for children, young people, adults and elder persons in a safe, comfortable space whether that be in my therapy room or in the comfort of your home.
With over 10 years experience in the health and wellbeing fields, I've worked with people with various barriers and problems across various ages. Working with people experiencing emotional issues, mental ill health and somatic symptoms from trauma is my main area of interest. I am also neuro-divergent friendly, with my own neurodevelopment disorder of ADHD, which assists me to understand and identify your strengths and work with them in a person centred framework.

I provide evidence-informed therapy for adults, children and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
Thoughtful people who want more than quick fixes or simple explanations find me most helpful. Many experience anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense that life has become constrained by patterns they cannot fully understand. Often they have spent years trying to solve the problem alone. Together, we explore not only symptoms, but the wider contexts shaping them: relationships, family histories, workplaces, communities, values, and life circumstances. Therapy becomes a space to develop deeper understanding and new possibilities for action when old ways of coping no longer work.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviours change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).

What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way

What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
