Aimee believes strongly in empowering young people. She aims to give young people as much autonomy as possible within their therapeutic journey, and strives to create an atmosphere of empowerment within the therapy room, where each step towards progress is considered a victory.

Aimee understands that young people can sometimes encounter difficult emotions along their therapeutic journey, and aims to slowly encourage progress through her uniquely compassionate and child-centred approach. Aimee has experience working with clients from diverse populations, and continuously aims to promote equality, diversity and inclusion throughout her work.

Alongside her work, Aimee enjoys baking and entering cake decorating competitions, and also volunteers for an organisation supporting women through the journey of infertility. Aimee also loves spending time with her two young children.
