Treatments I Provide

 Behavioural Parent Training (BPT) is a structured program that teaches parents effective strategies to manage their child's behaviour, using techniques like positive reinforcement, differential attention, clear commands, contingency management, and consistent discipline. It helps improve parent-child interactions, reduce disruptive behaviours, and support children with conditions like ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, and even anxiety.

 Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is a new parent-based therapy designed to help children and adolescents with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder by reducing parental accommodations that reinforce fears. Instead of requiring the child to participate in therapy, SPACE teaches parents how to respond in specific supportive ways while gradually decreasing behaviours that unintentionally maintain their child's anxiety. SPACE is an excellent option for situations where anxiety/OCD is clearly a problem but children and teens don't want to participate in therapy.

Family-based therapy (FBT) for anorexia empowers parents to take an active role in their child's recovery by guiding them through structured meal support and weight restoration. Research shows that FBT is one of the most effective treatments for adolescent anorexia, often leading to significant improvements within six to twelve months. I am a certified clinician through the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders.

CBT-E is a specialised form of cognitive behavioural therapy designed to treat various eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. It focuses on helping individuals establish regular eating habits and reshape their relationship with food and body image. Research has shown that CBT-E is one of the most effective treatments for eating disorders, with strong evidence supporting its ability to reduce symptoms and improve long-term outcome.

 Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are practical techniques designed to help individuals manage emotions, cope with distress, improve relationships, and cultivate mindfulness. These skills are grouped into four key areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness, each providing strategies to navigate difficulties. I am fully trained as a DBT therapist. I currently offer DBT-informed care and DBT skills training.
