Sometimes the most powerful therapeutic work happens when we’re all in the room together.

I offer family therapy grounded in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), in which I am trained to Level 1 and Level 2. DDP is an approach specifically developed for children who have experienced developmental trauma and disrupted attachment. It brings together what we know about attachment theory, trauma, neurobiology, and child development, and it works with the whole family rather than placing the focus solely on the child.

Sessions involve working with the child or young person and their parent or carer together. The conversations and interactions within the room are shaped by PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy), which creates the conditions for safety, connection, and real change.

Family therapy is particularly well suited to families where early trauma or attachment difficulties are at the heart of the presenting difficulties, including adoptive families, foster families, and kinship arrangements.
