I love working with children, adolescents and young adults on an individual basis and within their family contexts. Working within a Bio-Ecological framework, I acknowledge that people and their environments (as well as the various systems in these environments) influence each other. In some cases it is necessary to work with the family system as a whole in order to facilitate sustainable change and growth in the individual. We have all been uniquely created and therefore I do not believe that one size fits all. Consequently I utilise various therapy models and I adapt my therapeutic techniques to address the specific needs of each individual. My approach in the assessment process aims to identify both the difficulties in need of support as well as the strengths that the individual can utilise to help them excel. Ultimately I work from the belief that every single person is capable of change and growth. When we can discover our strengths, face the truth about our weaknesses and hurts, we have the capacity to cultivate hope.
