I have many years of clinical experience, working for 9 years in the private and public sector in the UK. I worked for Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services/CAMHS in the National Health Service/NHS for 7 years. Currently, I am collaborating with a specialist, therapeutic school in Kent, UK.
I recognise that every child / young person (1), as well as every therapist, is different; therefore, I don’t believe in ‘one size fits all’ style of therapy and acknowledge the value of an individualised approach tailored to their different characteristics and needs.
I don’t focus on the symptoms a child may be presenting with and try to identify and understand, in collaboration with them, what might be lying behind their behaviour.
My approach is developmental, so I always take into consideration the age of a young person, as well as the wider context within which they are growing up and operating on a day to day basis (i.e. family, school environment, etc.).
