Specialities and areas of interest:

The child is at the heart of my therapeutic approach. I will bring in different ideas and therapeutic models dependant on what the child needs. I will move at their pace. I also work closely with families to hear and support them, as they navigate this challenging journey. I work with all ranges of children, from early years to teens. I have a particular interest in developmental trauma, and have extensive experience supporting looked after children and adopted children, alongside working with children with special needs.

What do you enjoy outside of work?  

I’m an avid football fan! And I love being in nature. I get thirsty for beautiful views filled with greenery.
