About me and my practice

I work in private practice and have experience working with adults, children (age 5 and upwards) and young people and Couples/Families. I have worked as a therapist for many years, working in various roles for example, working with teenagers in particular working with young people in the care system and in schools, working with adults who have experienced abuse, working with people/ children and teenagers who have experienced trauma and are suffering from (PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Within my roles I have experience of working with many different issues for example: Anxiety, Bereavement , Depression, Low Self Esteem, Family breakdowns and relationship issues.

I believe the relationship is key to the work, and I offer a non judgemental, safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and I will work with you to bring about changes you feel you want to make.

We all feel lost and stuck at some time in our lives, often we don't know how or why we became lost and stuck don't suffer in silence and alone, you don't need to.

Experience

I have worked as a therapist for over 10 years and have worked in agencies that support people who have experienced sexual, physical and emotional abuse. I worked with clients who have suffered childhood sexual abuse.

I have worked in charity sectors supporting Children and young people.

In my private work I have supported clients with issues such as, anxiety, depression, stress, low self esteem and lacking in confidence. I work with couples and family breakdowns.
