Welcome
Finding the right therapist for your needs can be a daunting task. I hope that the information on this page will be useful and you will feel encouraged to take the first step.
As a mental health specialist, I work exclusively with children aged 3 to 11, and adolescent girls between 12 and 17 years old. For children under the age of three, I offer parent support, including consulting and psychoeducation.
Frequent concerns
- Anxiety, depression, stress and low mood.
- Adjustment to life events (e.g. birth of sibling; parent separation; starting school or moving house away from family and friends).
- Common childhood problems and concerns (e.g. emotional self-regulation issues; poor social skills, bullying and low self-esteem).
- Communication difficulties (e.g. struggling to express thoughts, feelings and emotions).
- Grief and loss, including parent separation and family breakdown.
- Trauma (e.g. medical, relational or developmental).
NOTE: Play therapy is a highly effective complementary treatment for neurodiverse children, as they tend to have concurrent emotional problems.
