Professional background and expertise
I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and work with children and young people up to the age of 25 years. I also offer consultations to parents and carers who have children with mental health difficulties and neurodevelopmental difficulties.
I have experience in treating children and young people with various emotional and mental health difficulties and children and young people who have experienced early trauma in their life and who have been in care.
I work as a psychotherapist privately and as a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist in the NHS. I am registered with the General Medical Council and a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. In my NHS job I work in a multidisciplinary team within a regional adoption service and in a team who supports and treats children and young people with complex mental health and neurodevelopmental difficulties who are in the care system.
