About me
Envelop Family Psychology is a space for parents, carers and anyone that has responsibility for children and young people. Using psychology, family therapy and decades of experience I can support you as you navigate the challenges that growing up can bring.
Modern parents face unique challenges, such as balancing work and family life, school and academic pressures, navigating screen time, technology, and social media’s influence, and dealing with the constant influx of information. Envelop specialises in supporting parents and carers to navigate a myriad of challenges that children, young people, and consequently the whole family, face. I can hold space for you to explore areas such as, but not restricted to:
- mental health and wellbeing
- neurodiversity
- emotionally based school non-attendance (EBSNA)
- the impact of social injustice due to gender, race, religion, ability, sexuality etc
- identity and belonging
- baby - teen brain development
- post adoption
- pre and post diagnosis
- loss, change and bereavement
I can also hold space for professionals working in educational settings on an individual, small group, or whole school basis.
