Therapeutic work with Children and Young People:
I am an experienced therapist with over 15 years of working with young people aged 13–18 within specialist mental health services. Throughout my career, I have supported adolescents experiencing a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including first-episode psychosis, trauma, anxiety disorders, and mood-related challenges.
My approach is informed by evidence-based therapies, primarily Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which I use to help young people understand their experiences, build resilience, and achieve meaningful change. I am passionate about providing compassionate, developmentally appropriate support that empowers young people to overcome difficulties and reach their potential.
I remain committed to ongoing professional development and continue to expand my knowledge and skills in working with young people experiencing complex mental health needs
