Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy offers a relational space where children, adolescents and adults can begin to feel safer, more understood and more connected to themselves and others.

Some people arrive with clear difficulties they would like support with. Others may struggle to put their experience into words. In my work, I recognise that communication can emerge in many different forms, through conversation, play, behaviour, movement, sensory experience, silence and relationship.

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual. This may include psychodynamic, neuroscience and attachment-based understanding, creative and experiential work, emotional regulation support and embodied, nervous-system-informed approaches.

I work particularly with:

  • Neurodivergent children and young people

  • Looked after children and those with experiences of developmental trauma or attachment disruption

  • Children and adolescents experiencing emotional, sensory or relational difficulties

  • Adults seeking reflective, relational therapeutic support

  • Families and carers navigating complex emotional and developmental needs

Sessions are tailored to the individual and may include:

  • Talking therapy

  • Play and creative exploration

  • Art, metaphor and storytelling

  • Sensory materials and embodied awareness

  • Emotional regulation work

  • Equine-assisted therapeutic practice

  • Relational and attachment-focused exploration

At the heart of my work is the belief that therapeutic change does not come solely through advice or intervention, but through the experience of feeling emotionally met within a safe and attuned relationship.
