Play is a child's natural language: it speaks the worries and feelings too confusing for words.
I offer both children parents and families together the opportunity to creatively work through any feelings there having in a safe and containing space without any pressure of words.

I am deeply passionate about my work, creatively integrating the realms of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy to understand an individual holistically. I have transfered my practice from Paris to the UK in 2019 with an appreciation of the culture's richness and differences. Proficient in French and English, I welcome individuals in their unique perception of the world supporting them in the expression of their subjectivity. I provide psychological support, dealing with life's moments of distress and mental health variations.

I offer 1:1 online and The Space to Be outdoor therapy groups to children, young people and adults.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an action focussed therapy that links with CBT. However, the focus is not on changing thoughts but on the actions/responses to these thoughts: avoidance, denying, and struggle. ACT works to support you to identify who you want to be and the life you want to lead and teaches skills to help you move in that direction.

Often children show through their behaviour that they are in need of extra support.
Play Therapy uses a range of techniques which are usually non directive-the child chooses and the therapist follows. I have a large toolkit which includes puppets, sand play, Lego, therapeutic stories, art, craft, clay and music. I also offer support to parents, schools and other therapists, some of whom work alongside me at Little Oak Play Therapy.

Many people today are successful in their careers but feel confused, disconnected or unfulfilled in their relationships. We are rarely taught the emotional skills required for healthy relationships, communication and genuine partnership. As a psychotherapist, I help individuals and couples understand their emotional patterns, develop greater relational awareness, and build healthier, more secure connections. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight into yourself and move towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Building a genuine connection is at the heart of my work, whether I’m working with children, teenagers or adults.
Parents often tell me that their child won’t talk to them, doesn’t want help, or has become increasingly isolated. Many young people who are reluctant to engage with support find that talking with me feels different. ​​Many are thoughtful & sensitive, but find themselves overwhelmed, anxious, angry or feel misunderstood. Withdrawing and isolating themselves.

I specialise in working with children & their families, particularly young children.
I always start with a full assessment so we can understand why a concern is there, and why it isn't getting better by itself, as often things do. Any intervention is then tailor-made, based on this understanding. Sometimes I work just with parents, sometimes 1:1 with the child and sometimes with the whole family. I use a range of evidence-based approaches.

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.
