About
Everyone's situation is different. The path through childhood and family life can feel unclear, misunderstood, and at times, heavier than expected. I walk alongside you with steady guidance and practical thinking helping you to work out the next step rather than guessing it alone.

Anything human is mentionable, and anything mentionable can be more manageable. When we talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone

With over 10 years experience, I've spent most of my life working with children. Teaching mentoring, and working alongside them in both academic settings and creative spaces. Movement, imagination, behaviour, they all carry meaning when someone takes time to look.
Alongside practice, I've studies psychology, neuroscience, early years development and perinatal mental health. I've supported families through safeguarding helplines and worked directly within early years settings, writing developmental observations, helping families navigate the systems that shape their children's lives. I understand how policies read on paper, and how they feel in real life.
I also bring lived experience. As a child, I moved through CAMHS myself, navigating waiting lists, and the relief of feeling understood. That space once held me. Now I'm working toward becoming part of the professional that once supported me. I know what It feels like to sit on both sides of the room.
I'm continuing my professional development as a child and adolescent psychotherapist. Whilst in training, this website is a place where I offer free guidance and support, sharing what I'm learning, thinking, and seeing in practice. The commitment to understanding children came long before the qualifications. The training simply deepens it.

Real people. Real change.
When Letting Go Hurts
When Emma's toddler started nursery, what she expected to be a gentle adjustment quickly became overwhelming. Drop off turned into tears, sleep unravelled, and even small separations at home triggered distress. Beneath her daughter's anxiety was her own growing guilt, fear and worry.

Why should I trust your guidance?
You don't have to straight away. Trust builds through conversation. I've spent years working directly with children and families, writing developmental observations, navigating nursery systems for parents, and training in Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy. I don't rush to judge behaviour. I look for the meaning.

Do you only work with parents and families?
Do you only work with parents and families?
Parents and families are at the heart of my work, especially while I'm training as a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist.
But I can, and do support anyone who needs clear information or guidance around child development, early years systems, digital life, or family dynamics. Sometimes that's grandma, aunty, early years practitioners, SEND workers, or people wanting a second opinion.
If what you're looking for sits within the areas I work in, we can have a conversation and see if it's a good fit.
How is this different from therapy?
How is this different from therapy?
This isn't formal therapy. It's reflective, practical guidance. We explore child development, behaviour, systems, and pressure. You leave with clearer thinking and direction, not a diagnosis.
Can I book a therapy session for my child?
Can I book a therapy session for my child?
Many families ask this.
At this stage in my training, I cannot provide formal therapy to children. Therapy requires full clinical qualification and registration, and I will offer it when that level is reached. Until then, I provide reflective guidance and developmental support.
What qualifies you to do this work?
What qualifies you to do this work?
I've worked for many years in Early Years settings and alongside families, written hundreds of developmental observations, and supported parents to navigate uncertainty. I am also training in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I stay within my scope.
Is everything I share kept confidential?
Is everything I share kept confidential?
Yes. What you share stays private. The only exception would be a serious safeguarding concern, where I have a legal duty to act. Transparency matters.
What makes someone reach out to you, and when?
What makes someone reach out to you, and when?
It's often something practical. A parent feels like they are not listened to at nursery. A policy that doesn't make sense. A conversation that left them a little confused rather than reassured.
Sometimes it's a child coming home different, while the setting say's they're 'misbehaving,' and you're not sure what that really means.
It could be gaming until 11 at night, arguments during the weekend. It could be school saying your child is aggressive.
Separation, a change at home, or just a sense that something feels off.
Families reach out for all sorts of reasons. Some are big. Some are small. Most sit somewhere in the middle. It's less about crisis and more about wanting to understand what's happening before it grows into something heavier.
