Practice description
I am a family therapist who specialises in working with young people and their families across a range of areas including low mood, self harm, eating disorders, trauma and young people who identify as trans or gender variant. My practice is inclusive and I value the perspectives of everyone in the family and wider supporting network. My task is to work alongside young people and their families facilitating their journey in search of solutions and shared understanding of the experiences that brings them into therapy. I create a safe space where every one who attends the sessions has a voice, is heard and valued with no judgments made.
I have personal and professional experience of the LBGT community and for the last 2 years I have worked with young people exploring, or who have identified as gender variant. I am based on the south coast in the Southampton area which is easily accessible from the M27 and M3. My website is currently is being developed.
