In over 30 years practice experience & ongoing professional development; I have had the privilege of working with children, young people and adults whose engagement, potential and enjoyment in education, employment, social recreational & family contexts has been compromised through challenging acute (short) or chronic (long term) experiences – affecting their mental health and overall wellbeing. Through an integrative therapeutic model we have many positive, wonderful, inspiring and occasionally surprising outcomes; with felt and observable progress - often from our very first session.

Through counselling, I can support you, or the child in your care, to identify, make sense of & manage the misunderstood challenges & trauma symptoms that result from relinquishment trauma, complex grief, attachment disruption, identity loss or search & reunion.
