I work with children and teenagers, using play, art, and talking therapy to help them express and understand their feelings. With specialised training for children aged 3 and up, I focus on building strong, trusting relationships with both the children and their families. I aim to help make sense of challenging behaviors and emotional struggles. I’m trained in EMDR to support people through trauma and have a wealth of experience in child mental health. I strive to create a safe environment where your child feels heard, supported, and ready to begin their healing journey.
I work with children facing anxiety, low mood, school struggles, self-harm, and emotions they can’t always explain. I have supporter families through divorce, illness, bereavement, and trauma—including abuse and sudden loss. Using play, creativity, and talking therapy, I create a safe space for children to make sense of their experiences.
I’m one half of Cormack and James, based in Hove. I know how hard it can be to find the right support and if you’re feeling unsure or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to talk things through and help you decide what feels right. Get in touch—I’m here to help you make the best decision for your child or teen.

Initial sessions usually involve parents/carers depending on the age of the child. I will work to gain an understanding of the current difficulties being experienced, and gather a life history from birth to present day. I spend time getting to know children and teenagers utilising play and creative approaches, and exploring the issues they present with.
