Working with adopted children, adolescents and adults
The ‘Adoption Support Fund’ has been specifically set up by the government to increase access to specialist services for adoptive families who are struggling and need help. An application to the Adoption Support Fund needs to take place in partnership with your Local Authority as all of our adoption work must be referred by either this body or an Adoption Support Agency in order that they assume the responsibility for quality assurance as OFSTED registered organisations.
If you are over eighteen and are adopted, a birth parent or an adoptive parent, therapy can be accessed privately, independently of your local authority.
Therapeutic services I offer:
- Dramatherapy Hcpc.
- Child Psychotherapy UKCP.
- Integrative Psychotherapy for adults UKCP

- Individual sessions for parents who wish/need to process aspects of their own loss, attachment, trauma history.
