Toddlers and young children
When working with toddlers and young children, I have a particular interest in supporting children with chronic health conditions. This includes difficulties with potty training and stool withholding (‘fear of pooing’).
When working with this age group I draw on creative modalities such as play and arts. I also liaise with nurseries and schools, where appropriate.
Adolescents
When working with adolescents, I have experience in providing psychological interventions for; anxiety, depression, phobias, self-esteem, behaviour experienced as challenging, relationship issues and school/exam issues.
My particular expertise is working with young people who have been diagnosed with health conditions, learning difficulties and Autism. I am flexible in my approach and aim to meet the needs of each individual young person. Therapies include cognitive-behavioural, systemic, narrative and solution-focused.
I am trained in the administration of neurological cognitive assessments and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2. For cognitive assessments I collaborate with Dr Chandi Gedara, who’s details can be found here.

Make Contact
I welcome you to make contact here letting me know a bit about what support you are looking for and sharing any questions you have for me. I can then discuss my availability and, if appropriate, we can arrange an initial consultation.
Initial consultation
I always start with a parent only initial consultation. This is an opportunity to find out more about what you are wanting help with and allows space for you to talk openly about your concerns without your child being present. I will ask about your best hopes for the work and we will make a plan together about the next steps.
Therapy and interventions
Some children and their families see me for a brief number of sessions for help with a specific difficulty, while others use the sessions for an ongoing space to manage challenges. Together with you, we will make a clear plan at the start of the work and I will ensure that we regularly review this.
Session fees
60 Minute session - £140
In depth withholding intervention- £200.
I am registered with most major insurers, but please do inform confirm your provider when making contact with me.
Cancellation
I understand that you may need to cancel your sessions from time to time, and I kindly ask that you give us a minimum of 48 hours notice. Cancellation with less than 48 hours will need to be charged at full rate.
Location
I am part of the Queen Anne Street Practice which is located central London, W1G 9JR. I offer both online and in person sessions.
