I am a child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in Bristol (UK). I am registered with the Association of Child Psychotherapists .  I offer brief and long term psychotherapy for children and young people up to age 25, parent and family work, supervision and consultations to professionals.  I have a well equipped & comfortable consulting room in the BS9 area of Bristol, with easy access to the M5 and close to bus and train links from Clifton, Redland and the city centre.  I also offer online appointments.

Prior to training as a child and adolescent psychotherapist I worked for many years as a teacher, with a specialism in work with young people with severe emotional and behavioural difficulties.  From 2004-2009 I worked as a teacher in a therapeutic residential community, The Mulberry Bush School, with children who were some of the most vulnerable and traumatised in the UK.  I have also previously worked in CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, part of the NHS) and for a Pupil Referral Unit.  A few years ago I undertook a doctorate examining how best to measure progress in psychotherapy.

In addition to my private practice I am also the Clinical Director of the psychotherapy of The Bridge Psychotherapy service at  The Bridge Foundation (Bristol) and a member of the Joint Leadership Team.   I am assistant editor of the International Journal of Infant Observation.
