Areas of Expertise

Children and Adolescents

I help children and young people to talk about their worries and symptoms such as:
​
  • Depression
  • Low self esteem and confidence
  • Anxiety
  • Phobias/OCD 
  • ADHD
  • Anger/behavioural issues/ self-regulation
  • Peer/friendships
  • School/exam stress
  • Tech addiction
  • Loss
 
I work sensitively and in an age appropriate way, to enable children and young people to feel safe and understood. My hope is that through the process of therapy, they will feel a loosening of their symptoms, greater self acceptance, and a sense of self awareness that will enable them to better express how they feel to themselves and others. My aim is to facilitate therapeutic change in children and young people so that they will gradually experience a greater sense of inner freedom and enjoyment in their lives and look forward to a future in which they will thrive.
