With over 25 years experience of working in mental health and as a child and adult counsellor and therapist in Camden Town, I work with: children, adults, parents, couples  and families.  With a current DBS clearance and working within an Ethical Framework, I will work carefully with you, 1:1 or with family couples and groups. I work with young children through play, adolescents using talking therapy.  i specialise, within my role, in managing parental conflict and separation, involved with legal-medical cases and report writing. Skype/Zoom available.

Therapy involves providing a safe and confidential place, where you feel listened to and your experiences are taken seriously.  I am interested in getting to know you and sensitive to hear what you choose to share with  me. Thinking together about your situation may help to find a constructive way forward for you.  

I am trained in ADOS-2 at UCL, administering assessments for children, adolescents and adults who may need a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I work in relation to your needs, in both short and longer term therapy.  Initially, we can speak on the phone and arrange a consultation to discuss your situation.   If you and I consider that I am the right person to help you, we can meet again or arrange a regular time to meet.  Otherwise, I will help you to find who can best help you.  I am a clinical supervisor, also consulting with and offering traning to midwives, social workers, nurses and psychiatrists.

Schooling can be stressful for all concerned; children and young people, siblings, parents and teachers can feel the need for a confidential place to talk through their experiences.  Having worked in and with schools, I am aware of the difficult issues arising, such as bullying and self-harm. As a professionally trained and qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, I am here to listen to you, facilitate support groups and provide consultation and training.

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are common feelings but there are times when this can feel overwhelming. As an emotional expert, I seek to help you manage your situation and can offer: assessments, parenting sessions, consultancy, group support and training packages.

A new baby in the family changes everything and I am trained to help you and your family through this often confusing and  difficult transition. Counselling can be beneficial to couples looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions can be held with families if required, as a supportive place to discuss ways to improve your communication and  lives together.
