I provide brief to midterm solutions-based therapy, taking an eclectic approach that is tailored to the individual needs of the client. The skills and techniques I draw on include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Theory, Play Therapy and most often, Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) or Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).
If you’d like to know more about BWRT, I encourage you to read the following article:

Children and Adolescents
I work with children aged 7+, focusing on psychological difficulties related to:
- Phobias
- Anxiety
- Self-Worth/Self-Confidence Issues
- Fear of Authority
- Peer-related Issues
- Grief and Loss (including pets)
- Trauma
Adults
I work with adults facing the same psychological difficulties listed for children, in addition to those related to:
- Intimate and Professional Relationships
- Divorce
- Pregnancy and Fertility
- Work Stress
A positive and effective therapeutic journey relies heavily on the right “fit” between therapist and client. Initial sessions serve as an assessment and where it is felt that a more appropriate fit would better serve a client, recommendations for an alternative therapist will be made. Equally, where a client’s needs fall outside my scope of practice, a referral to an appropriately specialised professional will be made.
