Were you adopted or fostered as a child? Are you parenting an adopted/fostered child you’d like to bring to counselling? Being relinquished presents episodic and life-long challenges. Through counselling, I can support you, or the child in your care, to identify, make sense of & manage the misunderstood challenges & trauma symptoms that result from relinquishment trauma, complex grief, attachment disruption, identity loss or search & reunion. Post-Adoption Counselling can help alleviate confusion, validate one’s experience, disrupt shame, increase a sense of Self and empower individuals to grow beyond their pain & circumstance.
I specialise in supporting children and adults who have been adopted/fostered through face-to-face individual counselling sessions. I have lived experience as an Adoptee and have extensive post-graduate training in supporting pre-verbal & attachment trauma through Sandplay Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch and Expressive Therapies.
If you have a personal history of Adoption/Supplemented Care, or if you are a Foster Carer, Adoptive Parent or Care Provider, I can offer you compassion & work with the child in your life to deal with the confusion and challenges caused by relinquishment, numerous placements and adverse experiences. Please see my website to make an appointment.

I offer my clients somatic, mindful & creative tools to get to the heart of the matter. Because childhood trauma is difficult to put into words, sometimes we create, sometimes we play and sometimes we talk while we create and play. My focus is on building a safe and supportive environment for my clients to express on the outside what is happening on the inside, whilst finding inner resources.
