What do you love most about your job?
To support people overcome their challenges and unlock their potential!
What inspired you to start your own business?
When starting out as a therapist I worked for a local social welfare charity. I was astonished with the huge number of families in difficult circumstances who were struggling with life in our world today. The charity sadly closed due to financial difficulties, but I saw an opportunity to continue its mission as an independent therapist, and I’ve never looked back.
Why should our clients choose you?
For 3 reasons: First, I create a unique approach for each person depending on their needs and preferences. Second, I look at the entire family system to ensure the work with individuals has a postive impact on their wider social network. It is important for young people to have a safe space to explore challenges on their journey to adulthood. But it is also the parent who at times need a helping hand with that most important job for which there is no training. I often start working with the parents first and equip them to calm emotional storms at home, so they can enjoy being with their child again. Third, I will stick with you for as long as it takes, as a non-judgemental professional, helping you become the best you can be!

I offer online sessions for childre aged 7 +, parents and young adults. I see clients between 4-10pm
Initial Assessment (90 minutes)
Once we agree to work together, we start with an initial assessment to establish the best care and support for your family. A full history of your child’s development and family history will be taken, current challenges explored and goals identified. Based on this a unique programme will be agreed.
Children & Adolescents Counselling
I usually start with an initial block of 6 sessions followed by a parent phone review:
The weekly 50-min. sessions for your child / adolescent will identify causes of current challenges, increase self-awareness, release distress and anxiety, and improve communication. At the end of the six session I offer a parent phone review to reflect on your child’s progress and to discuss any next steps if necessary.
Depending on your child's needs, next steps could be additional counselling session, parent-child sessions or parent support. It could also include recommendations to other services.
Parenting Support
A unique package to suit your family will be agreed to help you with daily parenting challenges.
For example, four 60-min. parent sessions will give you a better understanding of your child’s behaviour while learning practical and effective tools to calm emotional storms at home and help your child increase their emotional resilience. Each session will be followed-up with an email including action points, as well as a phone call to help you get over the bumpy parts.
Parent-Child Sessions
Parent-child sessions provide a safe and supportive space for you and your child to share thoughts and feelings, and enjoy creative activities that enhance connection and mutual respect. Sessions will be followed-up by a phone call to share your experience and my observations.
