Family and Systemic Psychotherapist
I am a Psychotherapist, specialising in Family and Couples Psychotherapy.
I have worked for 12 years with children and families in the NHS, where I practise as a Team Lead and Senior Family Therapist.
I aim to provide a warm, safe and confidential space to talk about family life, individual experiences, or anything that might be causing pain or distress.
Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in your relationships at home, a breakdown in communication, or you’re struggling with mental health challenges, I can offer a secure space to work through these concerns.
Family Work
I work with families, children and adolescents where there are relationship difficulties, as well as mental health challenges. I also offer parenting support, and behavioural strategies for children and teenagers. Additionally, I have experience working with families in grief, or where a loss has been experienced.
Couples Work
I specialise in couples therapy, using an emotionally focused approach. I have experience working with couples who are facing difficulties in their relationship, working through communication challenges and emotional distress. Additionally, I support couples who are considering separation where children are involved.
Parenting Support
Parenting can be fun and extremely rewarding, but also challenging. I work with parents who have children or adolescents who might be struggling with their behaviour and emotions, including, anxiety, depression, oppositional behaviours and emotional distress.
What to expect
I offer a free 30-minute telephone consultation, so that we can discuss a therapy tailored to your specific needs. It also gives you the opportunity to get to know me. Having a good rapport and relationship with your therapist is an important part of therapy, and leads to better outcomes.
If you choose to proceed I tend to suggest an initial 4-6 sessions. During this time, we can discuss your best hopes for therapy, develop a plan together on how best to achieve your goals, and begin to work towards change. After 6 sessions we would pause to review how our work is going together, and to think about next steps.
