About me and my therapy practice
Sometimes coping with life can be hard because situations can lead us along a difficult pathway. We may try to understand our own behaviours, thoughts and emotions and those of others, but coping may not be easy. My practice is holistic and aims to bring about healing by using a variety of techniques.
I offer my support to clients of all ages and I specialise in working with children and young people. I am also an HCPC registered Art Therapist and I use play, art, music, drama techniques and sand play, combining both talking and creative therapies. I sometimes offer online support.
I combine my clinical background with intuitive sense, empathy and a deep perception of client need. As a clinician, I practiced at senior level within mental health and addiction services. I was formerly a Consultant at the national charity, Drugscope. As a teacher and trai er, I use my sensitivity to connect with the needs of people of all ages.

About me and my therapy practice
Sometimes coping with life can become problematic because situations and events may lead us along a difficult pathway. We may try to understand our own behaviours, thoughts and emotions, as well as those of others, but coping may not be easy.
I regard each person as an individual in their own right, so my practice aims to suit diverse client's needs. I bring together a variety of techniques to support people of all ages with a range of issues.
I specialise in working with children from age 5+ and young people aged 13-18, who experience a range of emotional and psychological issues, including trauma. I use play, art, drama and sand play techniques, utilising both talking and creative therapies.
I combine my clinical background with intuitive sense, empathy, sensitivity and a deep perception of client need. As a clinician I practiced at senior level within NHS and non-statutory sectors. I was formerly a Consultant at the national charity, DrugScope. As a teacher, I used my sensitivity to connect to the needs of children and young people.
