I am a strong believer that our body, mind and spirit are all interconnected and Adverse Child Experiences impact on our mental and physical health.
I am a Havening Technique practitioner and qualified counsellor (www.havening.org), a quick and highly effective neuroscience technique. The Havening Techniques is a method, proven through science, which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body. I have a long history of working with children/families/parents and carers. I believe that our relationship is key and my focus is based around understanding your needs and that I am led by your pace fuelled with passion, caring and empathy.

I understand that taking the first step to seek help is not always easy. You may be struggling with anxiety, family issues or be experiencing sad or depressed feelings and thoughts. I am here to offer confidential, non-judgemental counselling where you can be heard and understood. Talking about, and exploring your emotions and feelings will help you come to your own conclusions and empower you to take your next steps in life.

I am experienced in working with foster and adoptive families and care-experienced children and young people, with a DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) informed approach.
Are you a parent or carer looking for support for the child in your care? Maybe you’ve been surprised by your own strong and complex emotions that seem to have been stirred up by parenting? One of the greatest privileges in my work is to support families working through past and present hurts to nurture understanding and deepen relationships. I work collaboratively with parents and carers to figure out what approach is best suited to your family’s needs right now. I also specialise in Jungian-informed sandplay therapy, which is suitable for individual clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Swindon, ENG provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Swindon build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
