I believe that a huge part of my job is to be able to sit with a client in the hardest of times, and allow them the space and support to get up by themselves. I take a very client centred approach to care and believe that the client is the expertise in their own lives. I use a basis of ACT, Narrative Therapy, EFT and SFT to drive my practice from evidence based models and enjoy working with clients from a multitude of different backgrounds. I believe in the power of creating a safe space for people to share and be vulnerable, the ability to do this is one of our great human gifts.

Within my practice I support children, teenagers, parents/carers/kin, adults, and older adults to understand and embrace their authentic selves, create stability in their lives, find joy and reach their goals at their own pace.
I am fascinated by how the brain and body connect and how our body communicates to us about the past and present through physical sensations. Through talk, creative, and play based therapies, I invite people to connect with their bodies to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, release tension, and learn new skills.

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.
