Whether working with children, adolescents or adults, I aim to create a safe, respectful space where differences are recognised and celebrated rather than pathologised.
I see clients with ADHD, autism, giftedness, learning difficulties, anxiety or mood concerns. Many feel misunderstood or unsure about their differences, whether seeking answers for their child or exploring their own neurodivergent identity. At the core, they are looking to be understood, supported and to move toward a more balanced and authentic life.

I work with adolescents, adults and older people seeking a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where they can explore what's shifting beneath the surface for them — perhaps the unsettled feeling of a life transition, the weight of anxiety, stress, grief, or the effects of trauma.
I have spent twenty-plus years learning to create one moment: when someone finally feels safe enough to say the worry, conflict, or story they've never spoken aloud. A former researcher, teacher, and mentor, I now counsel through a person-centred lens — not handing out answers, but helping you reach the understanding you already hold.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
