I really enjoy making a difference in as short a time as is possible for people. I am at present based in Ashby de la Zouch and have rooms within futureminds practice, which offer private and comfortable consulting rooms. (www.futureminds.co.uk)
I work with adults, children and adolescents as well as individuals, couples and families. I specialise in child and adolescent mental health including working closely with private fostering agencies offering training and support for foster carers as well as direct work with children.
I work in a positive, respectful, non-judgmental and anti oppressive manner and believe that all human beings have the capacity the help themselves with the right support and guidance.
