About the Therapist

About the therapist:

My extensive experience in the field of Youth and Community work and more recently as a qualified NCPS fully accredited practitioner, I have gained a profound understanding of the impact of negative childhood experiences, such as neglect, poverty, abuse, and family dysfunction, and how these may affect individuals later in life. Having personally experienced the powerful positive effects of inner child therapy, I have used this approach with many clients and have witnessed their remarkable transformations.
