About me
For nearly a decade, I have worked with a diverse range of families, many navigating the unique experiences that come with an autism diagnosis. I provide tailored support to help families understand neurodivergence, foster connection, and create meaningful strategies that work for them.
In my work, I focus on balancing the challenges families face with the strengths they already have, highlighting moments of connection and resilience. I believe that every family has its own rhythm, and my role as a therapist is to collaborate with them—offering guidance, practical tools, and a compassionate space to explore new ways forward.
I hold a Master’s in Systemic Family Psychotherapy from the Tavistock Institute and am registered with the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) and AFT (Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice).
My journey in mental health began in both nursing and therapy teams within adult and CAMHS inpatient settings. These experiences gave me a strong foundation for understanding complex mental health needs, particularly how neurodivergence intersects with family life.
Over time, I was drawn to the systemic approach—seeing firsthand how family dynamics, social environments, and personal experiences shape how we think, feel, and relate to each other. This perspective is at the heart of my work, helping families move beyond frustration or confusion into deeper understanding and connection.
Throughout my work with neurodivergent children and their families, I’ve seen how systemic therapy can make a meaningful difference by:
• Supporting communication differences in ways that work for the whole family
• Strengthening trust and understanding between parents, children, and siblings
• Helping families navigate sensory needs, emotional regulation, and routines
• Creating space for every family member’s voice to be heard and valued
• Celebrating neurodivergent strengths while addressing areas of challenge
