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.
