I am a Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience in London and Cape Town in both schools and community mental health. My focus is on creating a supportive relationship and offering a space to explore and reflect on a range of experiences and difficulties. I am committed to co-creating dialogue to bring about change and growth whether your needs be for short or long term counselling.
My approach to therapy is client directed and dependent on age and need. I take a holistic view with a psychodynamic lens and use strength and solution focused techniques and CBT. I work with children from 10 years old into adolescence and am interested in supporting families and parents holistically. I also offer support to adults in every life stage.
Reaching out for help is difficult but therapy is a journey of reflection, challenge and movement. I look forward to supporting you, your child or your family as you take this first step.
