I am currently only providing sessions remotely via Skype.

I am a Child/Young People Psychotherapist and practice with Neurodivergency and the performing arts. 

I work with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, and a combination of them. My work with Neurodivergent young people is to give them a safe place to be themselves and empower them with the gifts the conditions bring.

I also work closely with the performing arts industry with young actors, dancers, singers, rappers and performers. I also work with young Youtubers and young people in the video game industry. I support them to take care of themselves whilst navigating their careers. 

I am a passionate LGBTQ+ ally and have worked with many young people who identify as LGBTQ+ or experiencing gender dysphoria and are considering transitioning. 

I am a warm and laid back person, and am very easy to talk to. It's very important to me to create a safe and relaxed space to talk about things.

I work relationally with the experience of my young people. I won't tell them what to do, rather we'll go through feelings together.

I practice Integrative Psychodynamic Counselling and use Talking Therapy, Play Therapy, CBT techniques and Art Therapy to connect with young people.

I work one-to-one with each young person. Our sessions are confidential, although anything the young person wants to communicate to a caregiver I will share it, and provide a psychometric score and beginning and end to compare progress.

As a young people focused practitioner, I safeguard my young people to ensure their safety and protection, and will act to keep you safe if need be.
