Are you a parent of a child or young person with concerns about their mental health? Does your child struggle with their emotions or behaviour? Maybe they are withdrawn, anxious, unmotivated or overwhelmed with school issues such as exam stress? Like adults, children can find it hard to cope when life gets challenging & it can be difficult to know where to go for support. Perhaps your child has experienced events such as bereavement, divorce, friendships & relationship difficulties and they are finding things hard. If this sounds familiar you're not alone.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma and distress, grief, addiction, anxiety, family, friendship, or relationship difficulties, issues at work, or major life changes? Maybe worries and intrusive thoughts are keeping you awake or stopping you from being able to fully concentrate. Maybe you feel in a rut, or feel an increasing loss of hope. You may be managing difficult feelings using methods that no longer work and you want to find different ways to cope. You may be functioning well on a day-to-day basis but struggle with inner conflicts and turmoil or have repetitive negative experiences which you would like to explore.

I understand that everyone's story is different, and it's okay to need some help telling it. I am an MA-trained Dramatherapist, working with children and young people up to the age of 18. Using a carefully-planned blend of creative methods, traditional counselling and trauma-focussed interventions, each child/young person has the opportunity to express their inner thoughts and feelings in ways that feel most comfortable for them. I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent children to thrive, and working with trauma-focussed interventions. I can work online, or I can visit you in school by arrangement.

I specialise in eating disorders and have 17 years’ experience as a behaviour change and obesity prevention scientist at Cambridge University. I support people with binge eating, emotional eating, weight loss struggles, and bulimia. I help clients discover and take charge of their hidden eating triggers and transform their relationship with food. Sessions often focus on getting freedom from constant thoughts about food and weight and escaping the cycle of yo-yo dieting and weight gain. Gain understanding about what has prevented you from recovery in the past so you can overcome that, and live life without restriction or bingeing.

If you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, overworked or confused or if you are experiencing specific difficulties and would benefit from help and support, please get in touch. Perhaps you are faced with an impossible decision? Asking for help can be the hardest step to take in a fast-paced world where you are just expected to cope and to 'get on with it.' Whether you want to make changes in your life, reach milestone decisions, set new goals or simply find a space to be heard and explore your feelings and thoughts without judgement, expectation or agenda then I can offer you just what you need.

I believe there are times in all our lives where it is helpful to explore a reoccurring issue or struggle with a neutral person. Someone who is not afraid to talk about difficult topics and someone who's main focus is us. I feel incredibly lucky that on a weekly basis I get to be that neutral person.
