I am passionate about supporting children and adolescents through the multilayered implications of neurodiversity, trauma, and Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA). My mission is to help young people make sense of themselves and feel empowered to live as their best, most authentic selves. This expertise is built on a foundation of continual professional development and, most importantly, lived experience—both as a child myself and as a mum to a child navigating these exact challenges. I understand the daily reality beyond the theory, providing a safe, empathetic space where your child can feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
I offer a safe space for children and young adults to heal from trauma, bereavement, and domestic abuse. Specialising in PTSD/C-PTSD, I use the NICE-approved Children’s Accelerated Trauma Technique (CATT) alongside creative therapy. I help clients process deep pain and build resilience, using both professional expertise and lived experience to guide them.
Whatever you or your child are facing, you are not alone. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and confidential space to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, we can navigate life’s challenges, from trauma to neurodiversity. Take the first step toward healing and well-being today; I am here to listen and support you. Please reach out to chat.
