I am a Psychoanalytic Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist. I trained at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic in London.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for the BBC World Service as a Foreign Correspondent covering mostly the African continent.

I started my therapeutic experience in CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service) in Exeter before joining the CAMHS team in South Glos/Bristol and the PIMHS (Parent-Infant Mental Health Service) in East Bristol. I later joined the Bridge Foundation in Bristol, a not for profit organisation offering community mental health support where I set up the Parent-Infant Psychotherapy service (PIP).

From early on in my training, I developed a special interest in early intervention which led me to working with parents who were struggling to bond and form a healthy relationship with their babies.

I now supports parents and their babies, children and young people up to 25 in my independent clinic in East Devon, near Honiton and in central Exeter. 

I am an accredited therapist for the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/adoption-support-fund-asf
