I'm currently unable to take on new child clients for 1:1 sessions, but have availability for online parent consultations/support.

Hello and a warm welcome. I am an Integrative Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist with 15 years experience of working in a variety of educational and therapeutic settings.

My approach is child centred, using a blend of talking therapy, the creative arts and play. This enables the child or young person to fully express their thoughts and feelings which may be related to a current issue or sometimes a past trauma. Working at their pace, I help them to explore their concerns and make sense of overwhelming or confusing feelings.

Consistent weekly sessions, in a safe, confidential and child friendly space, creates a sense of continuity and trust. As an integrative practitioner, I draw upon different psychological theories to enable me to more fully understand the child or young person's presenting issues.

Qualifications

Masters Degree in Integrative Child Psychotherapy

Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative & Transpersonal Supervision

Youth Mental Health First Aid Certificate

I am fully DBS checked, have an up to date Advanced Safeguarding Certificate and Professional Indemnity Insurance.

I am located at the Arts and Therapy Sanctuary, a beautiful child friendly space which is a short walk from Queens Road Peckham station.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and usually take place weekly at the same time.

I also offer consultations for parents and carers, to help with understanding and managing a child's emotions and behaviour. These reflective parenting sessions can enable families to strengthen their relationships and communicate more effectively.

I offer an initial 30 minute free telephone consultation where we can discuss current issues and explore the next steps.

My first session is an assessment where the child and/or parents will describe their concerns in more depth. I may ask about the child's early history, pregnancy, birth, developmental milestones, significant events or trauma. This information will be important in helping to build a holistic picture of the child or young person.

Monday 9 - 5pm

Fridays 9 -1pm
