Working therapeutically with children and teenagers is different from therapy with adults, it requires specialist skills and knowledge. My graduate training included a Masters and 5 years clinical at the Tavistock and Portman (NHS), a world centre for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I work as a Senior Psychotherapist in CAMHS (NHS) and privately with 2 to 25 year olds, and have significant clinical experience in evidence based psychotherapy for depression, self harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, abuse, tics, phobias, eating disorders, adoption, illness, trauma, ADHD, school and family problems, and body, trans and gender issues.
Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy can help most emotional, behavioural, psychological, social and developmental difficulties. It can also help children to deal with learning and physical disabilities, as well as those who are neurodiverse. It can involve working one-to-one with a young person or parent, a child and parent together, or an entire family.
As an under 25s specialist experienced in risk and complexity, I work with mild to severe difficulties in my central Eastbourne clinic and welcome all inquiries. I also work with the Adoption Support Fund, offer Therapeutic Needs Assessments, and Clinical Supervision. For more info about my background and how Psychotherapy works please visit my website.
