I’ve been working with children and young people for over 20 years and I have extensive experience of supporting children and young people with a range of emotional needs and of supporting parents, caregivers and professionals to build better connections with the children and young people in their lives. I’m based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and I offer a range of support services for children and young people, including therapy (play-based and talking therapy), coaching, and advocacy. I have experience of working with children and young people with additional learning needs and those who are neurodivergent.
I work in an integrative way which means that I combine a range of theories and practices to best suit individual needs, including person-centred, attachment-based, psychodynamic and CBT approaches. I am qualified to level 7 (Masters level) and I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).
If you think the child or young person in your life would benefit from support to manage the difficulties in their life, get in touch to find out if I can help.
