My Approach:

My approach is person-centred and holistic, recognising that emotional wellbeing is shaped by family life, relationships, education, and lived experience. I work collaboratively with children, young people, and parents to help them understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to develop tools that feel realistic and supportive in everyday life.

When working with bereaved families, or those experiencing loss and significant change, I am particularly mindful of the impact this can have on emotional safety, identity, and relationships. I aim to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where emotions can be explored safely, and where families can move forward at a pace that feels right.

A Little About Me:
