About me
I am a qualified and accredited Systemic Psychotherapist (Family Therapist) with over twenty years experience of working with young people and their families. I have worked in a variety of settings including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) within the NHS, Social Care and within private practice.
I currently have private practices in Marlow and Wokingham and am an associate at The Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic in Harley Street, London.
Children, young people and their families can benefit from Family Therapy when they are faced with stressful circumstances and relationship difficulties. In a non-blaming environment, my practice endeavours to facilitate a space whereby each family members' view and understanding of a particular problem can be heard. This enables families to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, to understand the different views within the family and for families to unlock their strengths and full potential.
Depending on the circumstances, I am able to work with all members of the family including sibling groups, parents and individuals.
I can offer sessions via Zoom where appropriate.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Systemic Psychotherapist (Family Therapist) and hold an MSc in Systemic Psychotherapy from London University and the Institute of Family Therapy. I have worked within a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service since 1996 and like to work with families who are challenged by divorce and separation, adolescent and behavioural issues, low mood, anxiety and deliberate self harm.
Additionally, I have a particular interest in Couples Work and working with adult families.
Following my undergraduate degree I went on to train as a Child and Family Social Worker at Cardiff University
In keeping with my passion for creativity, I have also trained as a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist and have historically worked privately as a therapist within an acute Adult Psychiatric setting whereby I facilitated Dance and Movement groups for over a decade.
