 I work one-to-one and remotely to transform their outlook, well-being and utilise mental strategies, engaging in holistic tools such as mindfulness, meditation and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) where appropriate. I use several theories of therapeutic work, including Psychodynamic theory, Attachment theory, play therapy and Person-Centred approaches.

I match the right strategies, and methodologies to build a stronger sense of resolve in young people, that enables them to commit, engage and produce amazing results. An expert in using interpersonal skills, communication styles and well-being approaches to enable young people to be the best they can be.

I am fully insured and have regular supervision sessions to support my work.

Sessions are 50 minutes long. Children/young people are usually seen on a face to face basis but with recent health concerns all my sessions are currently being run online via Zoom, as long as there is a confidential space at home for them to use.
