I am a qualified specialist therapist working with children, young people and families for twenty years.
 
I’m a registered member of the BACP (MBACP), with a Masters in Psychodynamic Counselling, a qualified Play Practitioner (PTUK), with further qualifications in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Children’s Accelerated Trauma Therapy.
 
Relationships are a science; we are all (children and adults alike)  trying to work out how we feel, how others behave, and how to make sense of it all. Therapy offers a place to explore gently and honestly, so we can shift unhelpful patterns and move forward.
 
For me, therapy is about understanding and coping with our anxieties and our fears. I want all of us to feel stronger, more connected, and better equipped to enjoy life.

Frequently asked questions

​​
How do I know if my child needs therapy?
If you’re worried, trust that instinct. You don’t need a diagnosis or a clear “problem” — I often work with children who are simply finding things hard or whose behaviour has changed. We can talk it through in a parent consultation first if you’re unsure. ​
​
What does a therapy session look like?
Every session is different. For younger children, we might use toys, art, or storytelling. Older children  might prefer to talk, draw or use metaphors.  For adults — there’s no pressure to “perform” or explain everything straight away.
​
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. I offer online therapy for young people and adults, and parent consultations can also be held online. For children under 10, in-person is usually more effective.
 
How much do sessions cost?  
The first 15 minute phone consultation is free. We use this time to explore issues and start to think about our work together.
​
50 minute session: 
  • Children and Young People £45 
  • Adults £55 
  • Parents £65 
Concessions/sliding scale may be available and can be discussed in the initial consultation. 
Fees for organisation are agreed on a case by case basis. ​​​
Finding the right therapist is an important step, and it’s worth choosing someone who is properly trained and accountable. A registered therapist will belong to a recognised professional body, which means they follow strict ethical standards and keep their skills up to date. Good therapists also continue in their own therapy throughout training, helping them understand themselves so they can be fully present for the people they support. Regular clinical supervision is another key part of safe practice — it ensures your therapist is thinking carefully about their work and offering you the best possible care. Choosing someone who meets these standards gives you confidence that you’re in safe, experienced hands.
