Looking for support?
Whether you are an adult seeking individual support, or as a couple, you can book a FREE 15-minute consultation. This is a quick chat to explore whether therapy might be useful and to answer questions you might have. If it sounds like I can help, we’ll arrange an initial assessment. I offer mostly online therapy, with a limited number of in person sessions in East London. If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch - I’d love to hear from you.
Please note this support is not suitable if you have an urgent or crisis concern about you, or a partner - in this case please contact the GP or other known health or care professional.
How we can work together
-
Every child, family and parent system and individual is unique, and the type of support we need may differ too. Sometimes parents / families find a time-limited number of sessions (1-3) enough to help better understand a concern around their child, parenting or family, to connect to existing strengths and skills, and to signpost to any further coping resources they may want / need, to continue working towards.
-
These time limited sessions (1-3) provide a supportive space to talk about a specific concern or issue. Consultation sessions are brief, as the focus is on starting to make sense of experiences, rather than exploring difficulties in depth or ongoing therapy. My approach to consultation is warm and friendly, inviting everybody to feel listened to and understood - whether it is as a parent, couple or family. With 10+ years training and working as a clinical psychologist across the lifespan, and specialist training in parent, child, family and body-based therapy approaches, I draw on a range of tools to help us develop a formulation (or map) of experiences linked to your main concern, to build a shared understanding of struggles and strengths, and any support recommendations.
-
I am interested in understanding individuals and families within their unique context, supporting them to give voice to experiences and build their preferred futures. This might include (although not limited to) family culture, race, gender, sexuality, and unique intersections of identities. We might explore the wider social political contexts that impact on psychological wellbeing and mental health, including systems of power and oppression, dominant societal narratives (for example around parenting or motherhood) from a reflective, relational, critical and community psychology lens.
