I love working with clients at key transition points in their lives - either to ride out an emotional storm, or to find their roots and flourish through the change. I have two particular areas of specialism: Working with individuals and couples exploring the transition to parenthood or later as they move and evolve into midlife; and working with healthcare professionals to explore the relationship between work and their wellbeing / sense of self. Our work might be about managing acute distress or unpicking the impact of trauma; or it might be more a space to slow down and explore who you are and what you need.

I am a Clinical Psychotherapist and have been accredited by the UKCP since 2012. I am a member of the EMDR Association.

I have worked in mental health for over 20 years, within a diverse range of settings, such as NHS primary care, the prison service, eating disorders services and have worked solely with survivors of sexual violence for more than 10 years.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, especially when you’ve spent months—or even years—putting everyone else’s needs before your own. You may look as though you’re coping on the outside, yet inside you’re living with anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. You don’t have to face that alone.
With over 30 years’ experience supporting adults, children and families, I provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe enough to explore what’s holding you back and begin creating lasting change. My approach is trauma-informed,

I have many years of experience supporting children, young people, parents and carers. In my work as an art psychotherapist, I help people who may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, attachment difficulties, self-harm, depression, low self-esteem or questions around identity.
I also have a strong interest in therapeutic parenting and understand how challenging family life can sometimes feel. My aim is to create a calm, safe and supportive space where you or your child can explore thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Art therapy can help express emotions that may be hard to say out loud.

The decision to attend counselling can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. It is the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship' that is key to progress, so that you feel supported and comfortable to talk about what matters to you. I believe passionately in the counselling process, and for me the promotion of positive mental health and well-being is at the core of our work together.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain. I support adults, children, teenagers and families experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, ADHD, relationship difficulties, school difficulties, challenging behaviour or the lasting impact of difficult experiences. Through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused and family systems approach, we look beneath the surface to understand what’s happening, make sense of patterns and strengthen relationships, helping create meaningful, lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.

Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Counsellors
Does parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) work?
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be effective across domains, including for children with behavioural problems, those on the autism spectrum, and those who have experienced early childhood trauma. Further, studies have found that the skills developed through PCIT benefit not only the child in therapy but also siblings, as the parent internalises lessons learned in sessions and is able to incorporate them into interactions with other family members.
How long does PCIT last?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and treatment lasts, on average, between 12 and 20 sessions. Factors that influence treatment duration include how regularly a client attends treatment, how much progress is achieved between sessions, the particular skills that need development, and the extent to which the parent and therapist see improvement.
Can PCIT be done online?
PCIT is among the therapy types best suited for video sessions. Therapists are able to communicate with parents with essentially the same ease, and by observing the parent and child at home in their normal environment, the therapist may gain additional insight into their interactions, as the child will have their normal toys and may feel more comfortable and act more naturally than they would in a therapist’s room.
Does PCIT help parents?
In addition to the skills parents develop through the treatment, PCIT has also been shown to reduce frustration, stress, and depression in parents and promote confidence and a sense of calm when dealing with their children. The desired outcomes of PCIT include a reduction in defiant and aggressive behaviour by children and an improvement in communicating their feelings productively, complying with parental instruction, and behaving according to parents’ rules. Growth in these areas can be a relief for parents.
