About me

I’m Georgia…
With seven years of experience as a highly specialist child and young person psychotherapist, I offer compassionate care tailored to each individual.
My training at the world-renowned Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, known for its focus on children’s mental health, has equipped me with a deep understanding and the tools to provide effective, long-term support.

Sometimes life can be tough and worries can become too much for children, teenagers, young people and the adults in their lives. A child and adolescent trained psychotherapist can listen carefully and think together with each person to help make sense of the difficulties.

Research suggests that psychotherapy has longer term effects and that even when you finish you will have a memory of your therapy and your therapist which does not go away. Psychotherapy is not just about clearing up symptoms but is concerned with overall long term development for all.

I have a calm and welcoming space, designed to help children, teenagers, parents, and caregivers feel at ease, fostering open conversations, play therapy, and meaningful connections.

From my consulting room in Kent, I offer private therapy appointments on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays serving families in Wye and surrounding areas, including Ashford, Canterbury, Faversham, Folkestone, and Dover.
