Additional information
As an adoptive parent, I have a particular interest in working with all people who have been affected by the experience of adoption. In my private practice, I provide therapeutic support to help empower parents, increase their confidence, promote the development of healthy attachment relationships, understand past trauma and improve parent and child’s ability to regulate. I also work independently with a Health Trust providing training pre and post adoption on attachment, neuroscience, contact and life story work.
My theoretical approach
As an integrative Counsellor, I use aspects of Person Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic therapies to suit each client’s individual needs.
I see: Individuals, Couples, Families.
