Drawing on over 10 years' experience supporting children, young people and adults, I offer an approach that helps you make sense of your experiences, build on your strengths and move forward with greater clarity, confidence and self-trust.
I support clients with anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, low self-esteem, stress, emotional overwhelm and life transitions. Alongside therapy, I can incorporate hypnotherapy where appropriate. Whether you're looking to understand yourself better or process difficult experience, every session is tailored to your individual needs, goals and pace.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 10 years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults in the NHS and in private therapy.
As a clinical psychologist, I am trained in various evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as CBT, ACT, narrative therapy, and CFT. I don't believe there is a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to therapy and support should be individualised and therefore we can have a chat about how we can tailor therapy sessions to your needs.

You do not have to know all the answers about why and how, that is something we can find out together. Many of my clients are stuck in the same patterns, same thoughts, and same behaviours that no longer work for them but cannot figure out how to change them alone. I am here to help you understand and untangle these to figure out what is it you need and want for future you.

You might look like you’re managing on the outside, but inside feel stuck — going over things in your head, doubting yourself, or carrying a sense of guilt you can’t quite shift. Maybe you feel like you’re not quite “enough”, or that you should have things figured out by now, but something keeps holding you back. Over time, this can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure how to move forward. I offer a space where you can slow things down, make sense of what’s been building up, and begin to feel more like yourself again.

Why do you feel anxious or guilty when nothing is wrong? Inexplicably tense around certain people, or suddenly flat and stripped of motivation? You've probably got so good at performing that those around you think you're thriving, but inside you're holding your breath. Managing this constant, silent exhaustion is draining. It can be a lonely place to live, trapped in cycles of overthinking and waiting for things to either work out, or fall apart. Working online gives us the flexibility to slow things down from the comfort of your own space; together, we can work out what's going on and safely resolve the patterns keeping you stuck.

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.
