Services for children (and their parents or caregivers) of all ages presenting with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Presentations within my scope of expertise include but are not limited to;

Anxiety (fears and phobias, school avoidance, shyness, worry and OCD), mood regulation difficulties, behavioural difficulties, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Parent - Child relationship difficulties.

Therapeutic Approaches include Acceptance and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Sand Tray Therapy, Art and Play Therapy, Family Therapy and Parent Management Training.

One on one treatment for adults presenting with difficult thoughts, feelings or behaviours that are interfering with life satisfaction. These may be reflective of trauma, adverse life events, medical conditions, genetic factors or psychological conditions such as anxiety or depressive disorders.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is my favoured approach however Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) will be used if better indicated for the particular client and / or condition. Aspects of Schema Therapy (ST) and Internal Family Therapy (IFS) will commonly also be blended into the therapy approach for most individuals.

I can assess and provide reports aimed at understanding your child’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses (WISC-V), as well as their achievement levels at school (WIAT-III). This involves an initial assessment session followed by 2 separate in person testing sessions with you child (up to 2 hours each). I can also assess for the presence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
