I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, young adults and parents/carers and for the past 15 years I have worked in secondary schools as a pastoral care leader and registered teacher.  Trained in both education and psychology, I have worked with young people and their parents/carers to build positive relationships, improve student wellbeing and teach tools and strategies needed to navigate various challenges and difficulties that life can throw at us.  I work in a holistic and person-centred style where I take a proactive, pragmatic and responsive care approach to working with clients and their families.  I am especially committed to building trust, rapport and meaningful engagement and will use tailored evidence and strengths-based interventions that best suit the client’s needs in order to optimise therapeutic outcomes and inspire positive change.
