Psychological help for children, adolescents and families when distress has become difficult to understand.
Independent clinical psychology in Cardiff, with particular expertise in adolescent OCD and intrusive thoughts.
Psychological Therapy for Children and Adolescents
Young people do not always arrive knowing how to explain what has become difficult. Distress may appear through anxiety, intrusive thoughts, rituals, withdrawal, anger, difficulties at school or a growing sense that ordinary life no longer feels manageable.
Therapy offers a place to understand what is happening and why it may have taken hold at this particular point in the young person’s life. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents and their families, drawing together emotional, developmental and relational understanding with established psychological approaches.
Parental Consultation
A clinical psychologist specialising in child psychology can offer valuable parental consultations to support parents in understanding and addressing their child's psychological and behavioral needs. These consultations provide an opportunity for parents to gain insights, guidance, and strategies to navigate parenting challenges.
Specialist Interest: Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts and OCD Symptoms
While I work with a broad range of mental health presentations in children and adolescents, I have a specialist interest in unwanted intrusive thoughts. I’ve dedicated this space to share reflections, resources, and clinical insights for families, young people, and professionals navigating this often misunderstood experience.
