My Approach

“Emotions are data, not directives.”

    Personalised

    Sessions are shaped around what works best for your child — their pace, preferences, and personality. My approach is flexible, inclusive, and informed by both professional training and personal experience, including within SEN and neurodiversity. I aim to create a space where they feel truly understood and supported, just as they are..

    Whether it’s over a screen, in a quiet therapy room, or walking beneath the trees, I meet you where you are. From Wimbledon to Richmond, and everywhere in between—space to breathe, talk, and reconnect.

    Intergrative

    I weave together my background in psychology, education, consultancy and coaching to create a unique, tailored approach. Every session is a blend—grounded in experience, guided by insight, and shaped around you.

    Targeted

    My approach is warm but focused - no clipboards or clichés — I work with real issues, in real time, to help you move forward. My experience lies within building resilience and confidence and understanding and managing anger in children and teens and also parental burnout, low self-esteem, and anxiety in adults. Sessions are tailored to you, with clear goals and steady progress.
