I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to discuss your current situation and how I might help. This initial conversation allows us to explore your needs, answer any questions you might have, and ensure we're a good therapeutic fit. It's a chance for you to get a sense of how I work and for us to discuss practical matters such as session times and fees.
My integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy means I draw from different therapeutic models to create a treatment plan that's uniquely tailored to you. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I adapt my approach to match your specific needs, circumstances, and goals. This might include traditional talking therapy, creative approaches, or EMDR, depending on what works best for you. My practice is grounded in creating a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic approach that can help process difficult or traumatic experiences. It's particularly effective for addressing trauma, anxiety, phobias, and other challenging life experiences that may feel "stuck." Through EMDR, we can work together to help your brain process these experiences in a new way, leading to lasting positive change. Before beginning EMDR, we'll spend time ensuring you feel fully prepared and understand the process.
As a specially trained Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, I offer expert support for children, young people, and their families. Working from my practice in Central London, I help with issues such as anxiety, school refusal, identity concerns, and self-esteem. My approach can involve working with children individually or including parents in sessions using Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) informed techniques. DDP is an attachment-focused approach that helps strengthen the parent-child relationship through creating a safe, accepting environment where feelings can be explored together. This collaborative way of working helps build stronger family bonds while supporting your child's emotional development.
Drawing from my extensive experience at both PAC-UK and Family Futures, I provide specialised counselling and psychotherapy for adopted adults. This work focuses on exploring identity, attachment, relationships, and the unique experiences of being adopted. My background in adoption services has given me deep insight into the complex emotions and challenges that adopted adults may face. Whether you're exploring your adoption story, working through relationship patterns, or processing early experiences, I provide a safe, understanding space for this important work.
Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) is an effective approach for parents facing challenging behaviours in their children. This therapeutic parenting strategy helps address aggressive or destructive behaviour, both verbal and physical, by teaching de-escalation techniques and building supportive networks. As an NVR Informed Practitioner, I help parents develop practical strategies while understanding the underlying needs driving their child's behaviour. This approach is particularly valuable for parents of children with neurodiversity or those who have experienced trauma.
