I am a Child and Adolescent psychotherapist specialising in working with adolescents. Having been a secondary school teacher and pastoral lead for twenty years I developed an interest in the mental health of young people and went on to pursue training as a therapist at Birkbeck University. I work for a specialist adolescent mental health provider called the Brent Centre for Young People where I am part of a large clinical team and in my role, I am the lead therapist at a large secondary school in Ealing. I also work as a therapist at Gateways, an alternative educational provision for young people with social, emotional or mental health issues, many of whom struggle to remain in mainstream education. I have a small private practice in North West London. I offer short- and long-term interventions often working in an open-ended way enabling a good therapeutic relationship to develop.

My qualifications:

• MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling with Children and Adolescents
• Diploma Certificate in Counselling and Counselling Skills.
• BA Hons
