My approach with clients is down to earth and non-judgemental. I believe that it can be very difficult to make life changes without support. My goal with adult clients is to support them to gain awareness and move towards self-acceptance. Therapy gives clients a chance to develop an understanding of feelings and emotions and create a space for change to happen.

As a parent of an adolescent, I know how difficult this role can be. I am also aware that being an adolescent is equally difficult. Having specialised as an adolescent psychotherapist (ages 13+) I have learned that massive developmental changes are occurring in adolescents, which is much more complicated that just “hormones”. I work with both parents and adolescents to come up with ways of lessening anxiety, reducing overwhelming feelings and thoughts, as well as promoting better relationships between the adolescent and their parents.

My qualifications include a Diploma in Counselling and an MSc in Adolescent Psychotherapy. I am fully accredited with the I.A.C.P. and adhere to maintaining professional standards.

I believe that therapy offers the opportunity to gain insight into our emotions, to break free from old patterns that no longer serve us, and feel more connected to ourselves and others. My approach is collaborative, non-judgemental and warm. I strive to understand the specific experience and needs of every client and to work together to find practical ways of overcoming difficulties.

In addition to my work with adults, I specialise in working with teenagers (13+) and young adults across a wide range of difficulties that can arise at this age and point in development. I provide down to earth, age appropriate support to help young people, and their parents, understand present difficulties and to build healthy coping methods and relationships.

My qualifications include a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a MSc in Adolescent Psychotherapy. I am fully accredited with the I.A.C.P. and committed to upholding professional standards.
