Adoption support services
I have been working with adoptive families and their children, including in special guardianship (SGO) since 2010, and through the Adoption Support Fund since 2018.

Adoption Support
I offer one to one therapy and/or family therapy, in person to adoptive parents and children through regional adoption services. Given my experience as a psychotherapist and having worked in children's social care, CAMHS, adult mental health services and in private practice I have lots of useful experience to support your child or family. I take a creative approach working with young people at their house or in the community. With individual work with some young people I work with they don't like a typical office or clinic setting and this works well for them. Whether we stay in the house or go for a walk I take an approach that best fits your child or adolescents needs.

Approach
I am a systemic psychotherapist which means that I think about people in the context of relationships, in a strength based ensuring that problems are not located in individuals. I am also trained in Level 1 and 2 DDP.
