About me and my therapy practice
Children and adolescents can find it so hard to understand their emotions, why certain situations trigger them, why they suddenly feel overwhelmed or scared. They often struggle to feel truly listened to and understood. Through the use of painting, drawing, imagery, therapeutic story-telling and sand play I aim to enable a child or adolescent to tell and more importantly understand their story. Through this understanding comes the ability to grow and change.
Building a safe nurturing therapeutic space for young people to feel supported and truly listened to is at the heart of what I do and I firmly believe that this is a prerequisite to facilitate growth and change. I am committed to building a warm, and empathetic relationship that will allow a young person to feel safe and supported to embark on a journey to realise their full potential.
Practice description
I am highly experienced and trained in working with young children and adolescents.

I also work as a Counsellor for the Youth Counselling team of CAMHs, where I see young people aged between 12-24 years old.I work integratively and use a variety of tools such as the Arts and psychoeducation to allow a child/adolescent to develop self -compassion, improve self-esteem and confidence.
