I believe passionately in helping children & young people who are experiencing social, emotional and mental health difficulties, and those who care for them. I am equally dedicated to furthering the understanding of other professionals, and society generally, about the issues that can impact on some young people and how best to support them.

​

With over 15 years' experience developing and delivering training and workshops, for clients including Surrey County Council, West Sussex County Council and several independent children's homes and fostering services, I combine psychotherapeutic theory and understanding grounded in real world experience during 20 years of direct work with children and young people.

​

I can provide training for schools, children's homes, fostering and adoption agencies, local authorities and any other organisation concerned with the welfare of children and young people.

​

Topics I cover include: attachment, developmental trauma, understanding self-harm, how to have helpful conversations with young people, therapeutic thinking, therapeutic parenting, relationship building, and reflective practice. All of the training I offer will be tailored to the needs of your organisation.
