Hi, I have a Master’s degree in Couple and Family Therapy and have been working in this space for 14 years. Prior to this, I trained as a history teacher.
Much of my focus has been on working with young people who are at risk, struggling to cope with mainstream education and who may be displaying challenging behavior.
I have always adopted an approach of “not knowing” and have found this attitude to be useful, allowing more space for possible solutions. I have extensive experience in testing therapeutic tools under the umbrella of Trauma-Informed care, using music, art (including martial arts), mindful practice and free writing.
I have trained in Milan Systemic Family Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and other modes of therapy, such as: Narrative, Solution-Focused, and ACT, that can be blended to suit specific young people, families, and couples.
Please reach out if you’d like to connect, I’m happy to have an upfront chat to see if I’m the right support for you.
