I am experienced in working with the effects of abuse, neglect and childhood trauma. I also specialise in the family therapy and parenting model, Dyadic Developmental Practice (DDP). The DDP theory of trauma and brain development underpins the TIS and Thrive models in schools. In 2013, I set up a service for families affected by domestic abuse for a Cornwall charity and ran it for nearly 4 years.
My knowledge of attachment theory means I am passionate about early intervention but constantly frustrated by its lack in our society. I also incorporate the transpersonal into my work, seeking to provide harmony between mind, body and spirt. I am very interested in how important nutrition is for our wellbeing. Prior to training to be a therapist in 2004, I worked in the field of PR and Marketing in London and Australia.
I am very concerned about the gender/critical race ideology that is pushed upon the young and offer explorative, evidence-based therapy to anyone that seeks my services. I am open minded, empathic, non-judgemental and resilient, and hope to foster the same characteristics in my clients.
