I work from Tuesday - Thursday 9.00am - 5.00pm, term time only. I have a therapy room in Christchurch, Dorset

I am a psychotherapist with over ten years experience working in educational and mental health settings. I specialise in working with children, adolescents and parent/carers who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, behavioural difficulties or who may have experienced trauma. I offer an integrative approach which is supported by research from psychology, neurophysiology and attachment theory.  At the core of this approach is the accepting, containing and empathic relationship between therapist and client.

I am accredited with BCP Council to offer specialist therapy services for the adoption and special guardianship support fund.

Our first appointment will be a consultation and it will give you the opportunity to get to know me, to ask any questions you may have and to give us the opportunity to talk about your specific needs and how we can best work together to achieve your goals.
