ABOUT ME
As an ACP Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, I am a highly skilled and rigorously trained mental health professional working with children and young people aged 0-25. I work as a core multidisciplinary team member within a London-based NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). I also work privately from consulting rooms in North-West London.
I have extensive experience (inpatient, outpatient and school-based) working with children, adolescents, their families and carers. If requested, I liaise with schools and educational institutions, local agencies and services to help support the needs of the child or young person.
My clinical and pre-clinical training span ten years and includes a doctoral-level four-year clinical training with Anna Freud Centre, UCL and BPF (IPCAPA). My research areas of interest include adoption, adoption motivation, infertility and adoption outcomes. I have also written on topics including bereavement, maternal abandonment and neglect, sibling rivalry, parental illness, and early maternal relationships.
It is my pleasure to work with children and adolescents, as well as their families towards a shared goal.
My services are strictly private and confidential.
