About Me

​

I am a qualified and registered Child and adolescent psychotherapist. My specialism is helping children, young people, and their families with feelings and behaviors. I liaise closely with parents/caregivers to hear their concerns, offer support and provide practical solutions while keeping them informed and updated with their child/young person’s progress.

Some of these models include Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Psycho-Education.
