I work with young people and adults for the following issues:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Bereavement

  • Trauma

  • Physical illness

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Work related issues

  • Coping with mental illness in a partner or family member

  • Concerns about sexuality, sexual orientation and identity

  • Cultural issues such as coping with racism and discrimination

The work with individuals could be brief (an initial assessment followed by between 2 and 6 sessions) or comprise fortnightly sessions over a period of between one to three years.  

I always keep the family, organization or wider system in mind even when I am working with an individual.  

In order to do so, I draw on systemic skills such as genograms, eco-maps, hypothesizing, circular questions and narrative systemic approaches.
