About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified child and adolescent therapist based in Chesham, Buckinghamshire. I'm passionate about mental health for children and can offer a confidential, safe space for a child or young person (aged 4-18 years) to share whatever鈥檚 on their mind.

If a young person you know seems to be struggling emotionally, or has asked for help, I can provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help them make sense of their feelings.

I work creatively, using toys, games and art materials to help create the right environment for young people to learn about different emotions and explore their own safely.

I am an integrative therapist which means I can draw on a range of theoretical models to suit the person in front of me. I鈥檓 also client led and will work with whatever the young person brings to a session.

Practice description

I have a Diploma in Child Counselling which has equipped me with the skills necessary to work therapeutically with children and young people. I have knowledge of child development, neurodevelopmental changes throughout childhood, family networks and support systems, complex needs, and how to work creatively in an age-appropriate way.

I also have many years experience working with children and young people in a variety of settings. This has given me a huge insight into young people鈥檚 lives and helps me to build the therapeutic relationship, as I will always strive to get to know them as individuals and how they understand the world.

My first session

After your initial contact with me you will be offered a free 30 minute consultation where we can talk a bit more about what's going on and you can ask any questions you may have. I will explain about confidentiality and how I work with you within these boundaries.

The first session will be an opportunity to introduce the young person to me. We will decide together whether it is appropriate for you to stay with us for all or part of this sesssion.

All sessions are 50 minutes long, at the same time and place each week.
