I am passionate about early intervention for mental health. I worked in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) for a number of years after qualifying as a children's psychological wellbeing practitioner. I started my business ThinkWise after growing frustrated with the barriers to care and ever-growing waiting times faced by families in need of support. My aim is to make early help accessible and affordable for as many people as possible to help them gain back control of their mental health for the calmer and happier life they deserve.
Specialising in an innovative parent-led approach, I help mums and dads to better support their anxious children and remove the heart wrenching distress that parents feel when they don’t know how to help their child. After all, they don’t come with a manual and there is nothing worse than seeing your child struggle and not knowing what to do to take that struggle away. I will expertly guide you through a highly effective programme using proven strategies that have had amazing results time after time.
I don't just have an impressive academic background with both personal and professional experience. More than anything, I like to bring a warm and non-judgmental approach to mental health support that makes it easy to believe you are in good hands.
When I'm not helping young people and their families I can usually be found enjoying cooking or baking for my own family and walking my 3 beloved pugaliers Chester, Charlie and Milo.
