As an independent therapist I meet with families to work in partnership to develop a shared understanding of a family's story, build their loving communications and flourish. I believe it's also really valuable to work with networks around children and families – social care, NHS teams and schools – to maximise emotional recovery from developmental trauma.
I love using DDP: I admire the courage of families who come for DDP support – whether in parenting groups, or with more personalised therapy to support their parenting. It's very brave to aim to change our parenting and I am humbled by the power of people wanting to do their very best by their children.
Parenting is a challenging, often stressful, yet potentially also joyous, task. I enjoy providing high quality psychotherapy and commit to working hard to match the hard work of parents – and their children – to the process of change.
I have always enjoyed supervising others and sharing my extensive experience as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and also Certified Practitioner and Consultant in DDP. I offer group and individual supervision, in person and online. Do get in touch if you think I can help in some way.
