Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy; and Psychodynamic Counselling with adults

Welcome!

I am a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist registered with the Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP); and a Psychodynamic Counsellor of adults, registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I have been working in mental health settings, with adults and children, since 1997 - including twenty-one years within the NHS.  My specialisms include developmental trauma, fostered and adopted children, anxiety, depression and attachment issues - and others. I also have extensive experience supporting foster carers, residential key workers, schools and social workers - including offering consultation, supervision and training. I am psychoanalytically/ psychodynamically trained to doctoral level; and have an MSc in Psychodynamic counselling with adults.

In psychotherapy a key goal is to help people process past losses and hurts and come to better understand and honour their true selves. For many children past losses and traumas remain unresolved, inside them, but find expression via challenging behaviour rather than through words. Helping adults to understand these communications from children is a passion of mine and an area I described in an article in early 2019 in the Journal of Social Work Practice: How the challenging behaviour of a traumatised child tells their trauma story and is part of their recovery. I offer 1:1 psychoanalytic psychotherapy to children, young people and adults; I also work with parents and children together at times.

I have full professional indemnity insurance.

I am also registered with most of the major Insurance companies via the Private Practice Register (PPR) to receive work funded by them.

My private practices are based in South Woodford (Lily House), London; and at Sundance House Psychology Services (Mountnessing, Brentwood). I also offer Skype/ Zoom and telephone services.
