ME & MY WORK

Psychotherapy


I work as an Integrative Psychotherapist which means I use different psychological theories as well as neuroscience to help me support young people from 3 - 17 years old.


Young people often use art materials and play as useful ways to explore thoughts and feelings without having to use words.

What is Psychotherapy... ?

Parents



I work as a Parenting Coach by combining my knowledge and experience as a Psychotherapist with my training and work with Noel Janis-Norton of "Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting".


I always think about the emotional wellbeing of children and hope to help them feel supported and nourished however I also want to help parents have less stress too!


Skills and strategies that help families to develop routines and ways of communicatingmean they can have a smooth running family life with lots of fun!

Why work with a Parent Coach...?

Schools


I train teachers and school staff so they can understand how children's behaviour is directly linked to their psychological experiences.


Using recent developments in neuroscience as well as psychological theories, schools can ensure that mental health and wellbeing are top of their agenda which in turn helps children to be able to learn well and be happy!

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a way of exploring conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings that may be getting in the way of living life healthily and happily.


Therapy givesa young person the opportunity to understand and process these emotions which can help them feel less overwhelmed and troubled.


This in turn can lead to more comfortable relationships, a fulfilling school life and increased confidence and self esteem.


Why work with a Parent Coach?

Parents tell me they struggle with:-


  • Stressful times of the day or week
  • Shouting and tantrums
  • Children not doing what they are asked to do
  • Lack of fun and laughter


Learning new ways of communicating firmly and warmly parents can create a family life that involves lots of fun and laughter as well as children with resilience and self-confidence!


I trained with Noel Janis-Norton of Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting and I use her skills as a basis for my work with parents

Therapists


I work with therapists so they can feel confident working with parents.


Sometimes this is helping them to help parents to support their children emotionally and sometimes it is helping parents to create strategies for behaviour and communication at home


Therapists can often feel that their work with young people could be deeper if parents were helped to understand some psychology and some parenting information and my course helps therapists in this work
