About me
I am a Child and Adolescent Psychologist, Counsellor, Family Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor with over a decade of experience supporting young people and families across clinical and educational settings in the UK and Dubai.
I specialise in children’s and young people’s mental health, working with difficulties such as anxiety, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, school-related stress, friendship and family difficulties, behavioural challenges, perfectionism, identity-related struggles, and the emotional impact of stressful or traumatic experiences.
Alongside private clinical work, I have extensive experience working within international schools and mental health services, supporting young people within complex emotional, academic, social, and family systems. My work has included counselling, safeguarding, family support, supervision, and psychological intervention within both school and clinical environments. This allows me to bring a practical, realistic, and developmentally informed understanding of the challenges children, adolescents, and parents face today.
Many of the young people and families I work with are high-functioning externally, yet internally struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, self-worth, relationship difficulties, or persistent feelings of distress that may not always be immediately visible to others.
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Systemic and Family Therapy, developmental psychology, and person-centred approaches. I believe emotional wellbeing cannot be understood in isolation, but must be viewed within the wider context of relationships, family dynamics, life experiences, school environments, and personal meaning.
Many families seek support not only to reduce immediate distress, but also to better understand the deeper emotional, relational, and developmental patterns affecting their child’s wellbeing.
I work in a collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored way, adapting sessions according to the age, personality, emotional readiness, and individual needs of each young person. Therapy with me is not “one size fits all.” Some clients benefit from structured and practical strategies, while others need space to process emotions more deeply and safely.
Although I mainly work online, sessions remain highly relational, engaging, and personalised. Many young people find online therapy less intimidating and easier to integrate into their lives consistently, while parents appreciate the flexibility and continuity of support.
In addition to working directly with children and adolescents, I also support parents in understanding emotional and behavioural patterns, strengthening communication, improving emotional regulation, navigating boundaries, and developing more connected parent-child relationships.
My aim is not only to reduce immediate distress, but to help young people and families develop deeper emotional understanding, healthier coping strategies, stronger relationships, and long-term psychological resilience.
In therapy with me, you can expect:
- A calm, non-judgemental, and emotionally safe space
- Careful listening and genuine understanding
- Psychological insight alongside practical support
- Honesty, warmth, and professionalism
- An approach tailored specifically to your child and family
- Seeking support can feel daunting, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful and lasting change.
You are welcome to arrange an initial consultation to discuss your concerns and explore whether this feels like the right fit for you or your child.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
