Who do I treat?............ I work with children (5+), adolescents and adults. 

Areas of expertise............  I work with people presenting with issues including; trauma, anxiety, parenting, childhood and adolescent emotional and behavioural difficulties, developmental trauma, body image, family violence, and coping with adjustment to life transitions (e.g. primary to secondary school,  adolescence to adulthood, parenthood, separation).

​

My therapy style............ Raising families and navigating life's developmental challenges is tricky business and so I work to create a warm and safe place to land in our work together to help people realise their own inner capacities and strengths to support change.  I work within the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framework, incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Neurobiology, Mindfulness and Relaxation Training. Understanding the interconnectivity of our biological, psychological, and socio-environmental environments are also important to my work with clients. All therapies are evidence-based.
