Growing up has never been easy but perhaps due to the ever-changing circumstances, it is becoming even more difficult for children and young people with so many things they have to navigate or are exposed to.
I am able to use different methods in my therapy practice, whether it is art, play, metaphors in storytelling or symbols in the sand to help children make sense of their overwhelming feelings or difficult experiences. I believe that compassion, empathy and the alliance between the therapist and the client are the keys to therapeutic change.

I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience in private practice, as well as in charities and at the Priory Hospital. I offer one-to-one therapy for adults and adolescents who are searching for a safe space to talk openly and honestly without judgment or self-censorship. At the heart of my work is one truth: good mental health hinges on self-love. And self-love isn’t a feeling or a vague idea, it’s action. It shows up in self-care: in the choices you make, the way you speak to yourself in your head, how you treat your body, who you allow into your life, and how you protect your boundaries.

I offer a compassionate and integrative approach to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. I believe that our experiences are deeply shaped by the relationships around us, and sometimes, patterns of thinking and behaving that once served us, are now holding us back.

I have also worked within children's mental health teams and pediatrics.
Hello! I'm Jazz, a warm and compassionate Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping people to make sense of their difficulties and find the path forwards. When we experience difficult events in life, from obvious traumas to stressful life events (e.g., moving house, relationship break-downs), we do what we have to do to survive. We learn specific ways of being, and develop ideas about ourselves and others that help us to feel safe. This is our brain and nervous system doing the best job it can. However, often these patterns of thinking and behaviour remain long after the danger has passed, and no longer serving us.

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 long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

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.
