I am an experienced psychotherapist working with people of all ages, to help them towards finding a more fulfilling way of life. My style of working is based on the building up of a trusting and open relationship between us, which is the basis for all our therapeutic work. I believe our experiences as children, whether good or bad, affect us throughout our lives; and by being given the time and space to 'tell our story', we develop more insight into why we are the way we are. These insights then guide us towards finding ways to change what we want to change, and value those qualities in ourselves that are beneficial.

Or perhaps you suspect your loved one has a condition like Autism or ADHD- maybe they were recently diagnosed.
I specialise in helping parents and neurodivergent people understand the function of challenging behaviour. I use tried and tested strategies, adapted especially for people who are "different" to help neurodivergent people reduce behaviours that challenge. My approach is gentle and nurturing and prioritises the attachment bond.
