Client Types : Children, adolescents, and Families.

About Me : As a psychotherapist who specialises in working with children, adolescents (up to 24 years of age) , and their families, I offer a warm, safe space where young people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace — whether that’s through words, play, art, or simply being.

My Approach : My approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I help children navigate anxiety, behavioural challenges, emotional regulation, grief, identity, and life transitions. I also support teens through the complexities of adolescence — from stress and self-esteem struggles to peer issues and identity development.

Therapy with me is relational, playful, and deeply respectful of each child’s unique inner world. I also collaborate closely with parents and caregivers — because when a child feels supported at home and in therapy, real change can happen.

If you’re looking for someone who meets your child with curiosity, empathy, and skill — I would love to connect.
