All children want to feel understood, accepted and loved, but sometimes the opposite is experienced in day to day relationships with their parents, siblings, and at school. These feelings can be overwhelmingly frustrating, confusing and stressful for you and your child. You have tried so many ways to help your child and worry about your family's emotional and mental well-being. I can help you and your child gain insight, break through the negative experiences and restore hope. Through our work together, you will feel more supported and your child will improve their self esteem.
I am a warm and friendly child and family therapist and have worked with children and adolescents overcome a range of emotional, psychological, behavioural difficulties. I work with parents and caregivers connect positively with their child, feel supported, gain effective parenting skills, and in the process access the most authentic parts of themselves.
I have over 17 years of experience working with a range of presenting issues in the field of child and adolescent mental health, family therapy, play therapy, and primary and secondary schools settings. I am passionate about supporting children feel understood, attuned to themselves and strengthen their relationships with parents and caregivers.
