Hello........

I am a highly experienced mental health professional with over 20 years as a social worker, specialising in complex cases involving safeguarding concerns such as self-harm, suicide, domestic violence, coercive and controlling behaviour, child protection, elder abuse, FGM, and non-recent sexual abuse disclosures.

 

My therapeutic approach combines psychosocial support with grounding techniques and emotional regulation strategies, offering a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered. Guided by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), I believe everyone has the ability to grow and heal, and I work alongside individuals to co-create personalised plans that support emotional regulation, stronger relationships, and recovery from life’s challenges.

 

With extensive knowledge of safeguarding legislation, statutory service provision, and safeguarding processes, I provide supervision and guidance to independent therapists navigating safeguarding issues in private practice, helping reduce the isolation that can come with working alone. I also collaborate with organisations to strengthen governance, ensuring safe and effective safeguarding practices are embedded across services.

 

Above all, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where people feel genuinely heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with hope and confidence.
