About me
I am a Systemic and Family Psychotherapist trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. Working in private practice with individuals, couples and families, I also bring experience across CAMHS (Tier 3), school and community settings, working therapeutically with children and young people aged 0–18. My practice is grounded in systemic thinking, with a focus on understanding emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties within relational, social, educational and cultural contexts, and co-creating collaborative therapeutic alliances that support meaningful and sustainable change. I previously worked in the Corporate world for 20+ years.

Further information
I specialise in family therapy and work with children, young people, individuals, couples and schools across a range of emotional, behavioural and relational challenges. My approach focuses on understanding each person within the wider context of their relationships, culture and experiences, never in isolation.
I have experience in working with mixed-heritage children and families and I bring a systemic lens to how family, school and peer relationships shape a young person's sense of identity.
