Children and teenagers experience the world in ways that can be difficult for them to put into words. Through play, stories, and connection, I help young people express their emotions, process their experiences, and build the skills they need to navigate life’s challenges. Whether a child or teen is struggling with anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, or social difficulties, my goal is to create a space where they feel understood, supported, and empowered. I work collaboratively with parents to help them understand their child’s emotions and behaviours, offering guidance on how to support their child’s growth.
I specialise in working with neurodivergent children and teens, those who have experienced loss or trauma, and young people who find it difficult to express themselves in traditional ways. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic and attachment-based principles, integrating play therapy, talk therapy, and evidence-based interventions to meet each individual.
Seeking support for your child, teen, or family is a big decision, and it’s okay to have questions. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can explore what your child needs to thrive. If you're ready to take that step, I’d love to connect and see how we can work together.

I primarily use psychodynamic therapy. In sessions, we'll explore how past experiences and unconscious processes influence current behaviors and emotions. With this approach, we aim to gain deeper insight into patterns, fostering emotional growth and lasting change. For younger clients, I incorporate play therapy to help them express and work through feelings in a developmentally appropriate way.
