Psychotherapy - Adults, Children and Adolescents

Thank you for visiting my site.

I am an ACP Registered Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist; and a BACP Registered Psychodynamic Counsellor of adults. I have been working in mental health settings, with adults and children, for over 24 years.  My specialisms include developmental trauma, fostered and adopted children, anxiety, depression and attachment issues. I have extensive experience working with Social Care; foster carers and schools - 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 am a member of the Association of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists (ACP); and also registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP); 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.
