Jess is a graduate student in clinical counselling who will be joining my practice for approximately six months as part of her clinical training at the end of September 2025. Jess will be working under my close supervision to ensure that the highest standards of care are maintained.

WHO AM I?

​

I came to live in Canada from the UK and moved to Vancouver Island in 2011 with my husband, two sons, two dogs, and three cats. My family and I became proud Canadian Citizens six years ago!
​
Charlie is my Therapy dog and is often present in my office; his "brother," Dudley, may join us in my clinical office from time to time.
​

People, young and old, come from all walks of life, often seek psychotherapy/psychological care at times of change, when they feel stuck, at odds with the world or struggling with emotional experiences. Whatever difficulties have brought you here, talking to a therapist allows you to share your troubles without fearing being judged or criticised.

I have chosen to be a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist in Canada, and I specialise in caring for older adolescents and young adults with a range of socio-emotional problems. I am specially trained to care for young people from the age of 14 to adolescents and beyond.
​

My approach incorporates an empathic, practical and relational approach to psychotherapy. I possess respected, strong diagnostic and clinical skills. These areas are reflected in the care and treatment I offer, which is relationship-based and incorporates current research in neuroscience, developmental psychology, and attachment theory. With extensive training and experience in psychology and social services, I have worked with children of all ages who have a range of socio-emotional, developmental, and behavioural problems. With my husband, I am a proud parent of two incredible young men. My parenting experience has enriched my therapeutic work, providing greater empathy and understanding for the children and parents I care for.

I believe that Clinical Supervision doesn't stop after graduation or practising in the same area for many years. Many practitioners in supervision find that it genuinely helps deepen their work with patients. Supervision provides practitioners with the confidence they need to practice in their unique ways, especially when navigating complex decision-making processes.

I am qualified in the UK and Canada to offer Professional Clinical Supervision, with CCS certification in the UK (Recertification is mandatory annually, most recently completed in 2024). Additionally, I hold RCC-ACS certification in Canada, which I obtained in 2024.
