About me and my therapy practice

I've been a Child Psychotherapeutic Counsellor for over thirteen years. Over this time I have worked in many different settings including primary and secondary schools, charities, adolescent inpatient ward, local authority, private practice and a child-parent assessment centre. I specialise in working with trauma and attachment and parent-child work. I have good personal and professional experience of neurodivergent children. I have completed a Diploma in Clinical Supervision.

I currently work in private practice with a varied case load, with adopted children and their parents and for a parent-child residential assessment centre as their Child Attachment Specialist.

I am registered with Ofsted to work with children who are affected by adoption.

Practice description

I provide supervision by zoom or in person. I have a lot of knowledge and experience to support supervisees and also encourage them to develop heir own creativity, spontaneity and flexibility. I believe a positive, trusting relationship is at the heart of effective therapy and that this applies to the supervisees relationship with their supervisor also.

I support supervisees to develop their own areas of special interest and to work with clients within their capabilities but also to challenge themselves where appropriate. 

In my own practice I use creative arts and play whilst drawing on different theories and models including Attachment Theory, Neuroscience, Somatic Trauma Therapy, Sensory Processing, CBT, Mindfulness, Creative Arts Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and Theraplay.

I have a good working knowledge of safeguarding and guide supervisees in this area. I have a lot of experience of working as part of a multidisciplinary team and encourage supervisees to work systemically with the team around the child.
