I work with children, young people, parents, and families from pregnancy through to young adulthood, offering support that is holistic, evidence-based, and tailored to the individual.
I believe that every child and young person, regardless of their age, diagnosis, experiences, or challenges, deserves the opportunity to live the fullest life possible. My role is not to change who someone is, but to help them, and the people around them, develop the understanding, skills, confidence, and support needed to achieve the goals that matter most to them.
Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I draw upon a range of evidence-based, neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and creative approaches to ensure that support is meaningful, practical, and personalised.
The Most Important Lessons
As a mother of five children with a wonderfully varied range of experiences, including neurodivergence, mobility difficulties, complex medical experiences, and mental health challenges, I have gained a unique understanding of the realities that many families face every day.
My children continue to be my greatest teachers. They have challenged me to learn more, think differently, advocate harder, and continually develop my practice. They have shown me that people thrive not when they are taught to fit into the world around them, but when they are supported to participate in it as themselves.
The Goal
My ultimate aim as a therapist is to become unnecessary.
Successful therapy is not about creating dependence. It is about helping children, young people, and families develop the skills, confidence, understanding, and resources they need to continue their journey independently.
If I can help someone feel understood, empowered, and able to build the life they want to live, then I believe I have put my skills to good use.
