We can all experience struggles at some point in life, which can leave us feeling overwhelmed and it can feel hard to reach out. I support individuals of various cultural backgrounds with life issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and life changes. Sometimes external stress and the pressure we put on ourselves can wear us down, affect our mood, wellbeing and relationships. Counselling can build us back up again. Life is too short to let anxiety, anger and past traumas control us. Together we can restore balance, find relief and create a shift towards a life you want to live on your terms.

Often children don’t have words to describe their experiences and feelings and instead reveal them through behaviours which can be misunderstood. They may get into trouble, be labelled, or disconnect. I work with children and families just like this. As a carer, reaching out for support can be the hardest step. I work closely with you and your child through Play Therapy which is relationship based therapy for children aged 3-12 years. Play is a child’s natural way of communicating and Play Therapy creates the environment where the therapist enters into a child’s world and understands the experience from their perspective.

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.
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.
