About me
It can be worrying to see your child struggling, especially when you are unsure what is wrong or how to help. You may be a young person feeling overwhelmed, finding relationships difficult or struggling to make sense of your feelings. I offer a warm, thoughtful space where we can begin to understand these experiences together.
I am an ACP-registered Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, offering support to children, adolescents and young adults up to the age of 25, alongside therapeutic work with parents and carers. My private practice is based in Digbeth, Birmingham.
I support children and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, difficulties managing emotions, family and relationship difficulties, and the effects of loss, trauma or change. Sometimes there is no clear explanation for what feels wrong: a child may become withdrawn, behave differently or find it difficult to express what is troubling them.
My main approach is psychodynamic and psychoanalytic. This means that, alongside addressing current concerns, we explore the feelings, experiences and relationship patterns that may lie beneath them. This can help children and young people develop a greater understanding of themselves and more manageable ways of responding to difficult feelings.
I also offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which provides a more focused approach to specific concerns. We explore what you would like to be different, recognise existing strengths and identify small, manageable steps towards meaningful change. This may suit those seeking shorter-term support, and we can discuss whether it feels appropriate during the initial consultation.
Sessions are adapted to each person’s age, development and needs. Children may communicate through play, drawing and imagination, while adolescents and young adults may prefer to talk. There is no expectation to know what to say or where to begin. We work at a pace that allows trust and understanding to develop.
I have a particular interest in early relationships and emotional development. I offer parent-infant and parent-child work with babies and young children, as well as consultations for parents who would like space to think about their child’s needs, family relationships or the challenges of parenting.
I bring over 14 years of NHS mental health experience to my practice. This informs my understanding of the different challenges children, young people and families may face, and the importance of finding support that fits their needs.
We begin with an initial consultation to explore your concerns and consider what support may be helpful. This might include individual psychotherapy, parent consultations, parent-child work or solution-focused brief therapy.
You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, you are welcome to contact me to discuss what has brought you here and how I may be able to help.
Training, qualifications & experience

My clinical experience includes individual psychotherapy with children, adolescents and young adults, therapeutic work with parents and carers, and specialist work with babies and children under five and their families.
My specialist Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy training is a doctorate-equivalent clinical training grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches.
