About my work:

Our sessions will support you on your path to wellness and self-care. At times, people, but especially children and adolescents may find it hard to open up about their emotions to others or may need extra support to identify, understand and process their feelings. I offer a listening ear and a non-judgemental and safe space where they can explore, learn to express and manage better their difficulties. I support clients to learn the skills of problem solving and perspective taking to address practical difficulties when dealing with situations and managing interactions with others. My work is trauma and neurodivergent informed and led by principles of Mindfulness, Systemic and Family Therapy, ACT, CFT, DBT and NVR parent training.

My approach to therapy is:

•  to help clients working through difficulties with mental health and confusing, conflicting or uncomfortable issues
•  to enable clients to gain the most of therapy and rediscover their strengths
•  to support clients to acknowledge what matters to them and find ways to accept and work on their vulnerabilities
•  to support clients to improve their relationships and build their support network
•  to promote self-care and healthy coping strategies to achieve recovery and good quality of life.
