About me

I am a Chartered Specialist Child and Educational Psychologist, registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have over 25 years of experience supporting children, young people, and families. I have experience in a range of contexts and settings, including schools, the NHS, and privately funded work.

I work across Leicester City and Leicestershire, with access to clinic spaces in Thurmaston (Wednesday afternoons) and Quorn (Friday mornings), as well as online support (Friday afternoons).

I offer professional, skilled therapeutic support tailored to the needs of children, young people, and families.

My approach is integrative and flexible. I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches, including Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Theraplay, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches form the foundation of my therapeutic work.

I will offer EMDR for adults and adolescents from October 2025, and EMDR for children from April 2026.

Therapeutic input may involve:
- Individual sessions with a child or young person.
- Parent and carer sessions to reflect, build strategies, or strengthen relationships.
- Joint sessions with parent/carer and child or young person (especially in Theraplay and DDP-informed work).

My aim is always to create a space where children and young people feel seen and supported, and where parents feel empowered and hopeful. Whatever you and your child is facing, we'll work together to find a way forward - one that feels safe, collaborative, and grounded in what matters most to your family.
