About me
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist trained to work with children, young people and families. I can provide long or short term therapeutic work, assessment and one-off consultations.
At the heart of the work I am trained to do is the relationship between the client and the therapist. From within this relationship, and by beginning to listen to both conscious and unconscious communications, changes can happen. Unhelpful behaviours can be exchanged for healthy ones, self awareness and compassion can begin to grow and relationships improve.
Meeting with children, teenagers and young adults I aim to create an environment which is informal, supportive and relaxed. Communication takes many forms: play, creative work, dreams, games, memories.
I can provide psychodynamically orientated supervision sessions for therapists working with children and young people.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust in London and gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychoanalytic Observational Studies then a Masters Degree with distinction in Psychological Therapy with children, young people and families. As well as psychodynamic theory and practice, I was also provided with a grounding in CBT skills, Mindfulness and systemic family therapy.
Upon graduating I worked from 2013 to 2015 in a Tavistock Fostering and Adoption Clinic. In this setting I worked with young children who had suffered early traumatic experiences and disrupted attachments.
I worked for 15 years with children and adolescents at Eating Matters in Norwich. In this setting the focus was on eating disorders, self harm, anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, poor body image and low self esteem. I worked in the clinic and delivered outreach services and training n schools and colleges around Norfolk. I was the lead psychotherapist for Under 18s and ran a supervision group.
For more than a decade I worked for the Pottergate Centre for Trauma and Dissociation and I was at Newmarket House Clinic for Eating Disorders for three years.
Until recently I was a group supervisor at St Barnabas Counselling Centre in Norwich.
I am a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council.
