I work with children and young people who are finding their emotions or behaviour difficult to manage, whether they are experiencing anxiety, low mood, worries about separation, friendship or school challenges, or the impact of changes within the family. Many of the clients I support struggle to express how they feel—some become withdrawn or unsettled, while others show their distress through anger or big emotions that feel hard to contain. Families often come to me because their child is seeking greater calm, confidence, and connection, and would benefit from an attuned adult who can help them make sense of what’s going on inside.
I specialise in working with young people who need a safe, accepting space where their feelings can be explored through play, creativity, or talking, depending on their age. My training is in integrative child and adolescent psychotherapy rather than an adult focus, so I can draw on different modalities to best suit my client and developmental stage.
If you’re reading this because you’re worried about your child or sensing they need something more than you can offer right now, please know you’re not alone. It can be hard to watch a young person struggle, and reaching out for support is a courageous and caring step. I’m here to listen and to work alongside you in finding the right way forward for them.

In an initial parent consultation, I gather information on family history and what has brought you to seek therapy for your child. Once in the room I work relationally on helping my client to express how they are feeling offering a safe space to allow them to process this through talking, the arts and play.
