I am a psychotherapist, based in Petersfield Hampshire, with over thirty years experience working with children, adolescents, and their families.

Throughout my career, I have worked within multi-disciplinary CAMHS teams in Portsmouth and in the charitable sector in London, supporting children and young people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

I support young people who are experiencing mild to severe mental health issues. These include but are not limited to low mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-harm, anorexia, and suicidal thoughts. I also have extensive experience working with children diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. In addition to individual therapy, I offer parent–infant work, family therapy, and parent support, helping families to strengthen relationships and develop emotional wellbeing.

About Me

My Approach

I assess and treat infants, children, adolescents, and young people, and collaborate closely with their parents, carers, and wider networks. I help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves through the therapeutic relationship. The difficulties that emerge within this relationship often reflect patterns in their relationships with others in the outside world. Through this process, children are able to express their most troubling thoughts and feelings through words rather than actions, leading to reduced anxiety and the development of stronger, more secure relationships.

I work with clients in person in a therapy room in Petersfield, and online.

Professional Background

Over the past thirty years, I have trained at both The Tavistock Centre and Regent’s College, completing a seven-year doctoral-level training in Child Psychotherapy. In addition, I undertook training in Adult Existential Psychotherapy, broadening my understanding of the human experience across the lifespan.

I spent ten years working with The Place2Be and Kids Company charities as a therapist and mental health worker, where I was part of a multi-disciplinary team supporting children and adolescents facing significant deprivation and adversity.

Since moving to Petersfield, I have spent the past twenty years working within CAMHS and in private practice, providing psychotherapy and consultation to children, young people, and their families.
