I have specialised in the last three years in working with children and adolescents with Asperger’s Syndrome, high-functioning autism, ADHD and Tourette’s Syndrome. I carry out diagnostic assessments as well as therapy for a range of issues (such as anxiety, depression, anger, behaviour).
I work with preschool children and parents on a range of issues including toileting, sleep, feeding and behaviour.
I am also very experienced in carrying out intellectual assessments with children and young people. I work collaboratively with children and their families to achieve the best outcomes. I run clinics in Wallingford, South Oxfordshire and Henley-on-Thames
I am always happy to be contacted for an initial conversation to decide whether my input is appropriate. I am a registered member of the Health and Care Professionals Council (no. PYL19659) and British Psychological Society (no. 82247).

The Parent Support Service also provides psychological therapy for children and adolescents, using brief, evidence based techniques to address emotional concerns such as: anxiety; fears & phobias; depression; low self-esteem; obsessive thoughts & compulsive behaviours and post-traumatic stress. Assessment for social communication difficulties and autistic spectrum disorder is also available.
I have a certificate in counselling children and adolescents and offer a wide range of play and creative materials and methods for children to use as they explore any troubles they may have in a safe, private and friendly place.
I work in a practical and professional way with, eg, traumatic experiences, wetting and soiling, bereavement, bullying, family relationship struggles, difficulties at school, shyness and anger and can also suggest strategies to help handle things in a clearer way.
Parents/guardians are welcome to come and meet me first for an informal, confidential discussion.
There is disabled access.
I am a member of the British Psychological Society, The Association of Educational Psychologists and am HPC registered.
