As a psychodynamic counsellor with 15 years experience both in the education and NHS sector, I have worked with a range of clinical themes including: trauma, parental illness and terminal illness, anxiety, incontinence, ADHD, absconding, abuse, domestic violence, bereavement and grief, aggression, psychosomatic illness, disassociation disorder, depression, LGBTQ+. This list is not exhaustive to my knowledge and understanding to the many other themes that clients may present with. If you are willing to go on this journey with me and to trust me with your mental health, I will be there to support you every step of the way
When working with younger clients, I use a range of play, toys, sand tray, art and communication methods to understand and support. With older clients, I use verbal communication and some art-based materials to address the problems that they may be struggling with now and help them become more aware of themselves and and their reactions, relational patterns.
I want to re-assure you that your wellbeing and mental health will be my priority if you decided to work with me. Having a child with a social, emotional or mental health need can be extremely challenging and I believe in supporting parents through this process and will meet and communicate with you at intervals whilst supporting your child.
