About me
Hello, welcome. I can imagine how difficult it must be searching through the profiles trying to find the right therapist for your child.
I provide individual therapy online to adolescents, children and adults as well as parenting sessions when a child is too young for therapy. I am also a Certified Nutrition Health Coach due to the close connection between mental health and nutrition.
Making the decision to seek help for your child/grandchild is a brave one and sometimes it can be difficult. I have been told by clients that I am calm, warm, welcoming, and approachable; and can put them at ease.
I am a Child and Adolescent Therapist who specialises in working with 7-18 year olds and previously worked in CAMHS for the NHS for over six years. I decided to work in private practice after seeing so many children whom I could help turned away by CAMHS or who were waiting a long time to get help.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified over 16 years ago as a psychotherapist. I am registered with the government regulator Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as I hold a protected title by law. I have been trained in arts therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy (which focuses on relationship to self and other) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which is effective for anxiety, depression and OCD. I also incorporate mindfulness and relaxation techniques which is especially effective for anxiety, stress and depression. Due to the close link between mental health and nutrition, I can also offer support on nutrition for mental health as a certified Nutrition Health Coach and as a certified Eating Psychology Coach which provides a holistic approach in treating mental health difficulties.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
