About me and my therapy practice

I’ve been working with children and young people for over 20 years and I have extensive experience of supporting children and young people with a range of emotional needs and of supporting parents, caregivers and professionals to build better connections with the children and young people in their lives. 

I’m based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and I offer a range of support services for children and young people, including therapy (play-based and talking therapy), coaching, and advocacy. 

I have experience of working with children and young people with additional learning needs and those who are neurodivergent.

I work in an integrative way which means that I combine a range of theories and practices to best suit individual needs, including person-centred, attachment-based, psychodynamic and CBT approaches. I am qualified to level 7 (Masters level).

If you think the child or young person in your life would benefit from support to manage the difficulties in their life, get in touch to find out if I can help.

Practice description

I have a private room in Southend-on-Sea town centre which is equipped for play-based therapy, creative activities and talking therapy.


 

My first session

If you are looking for support for the child or young person in your life, initially we will arrange a time to speak on the phone or via video call to see if I am able to help with their specific needs. 

Following that, we will arrange a time for me to meet with the child or young person so they can see the space I work from and do a 'vibe check' to decide if they think they would like to work with me. 

There is no charge for these initial conversations/meetings.

If you and the child or young person in your life are happy to go ahead,  we will find a suitable time for their sessions.
