ABOUT CECILIA
Cecilia has been practising integrative counselling and psychotherapy for over 20 years. She has extensive experience of working with adults within the voluntary sector and in private practice. Since 2003, she has worked in a variety of clinical roles for Place2Be, a national charity offering mental health support to children and families within schools.
Currently Head of Parenting for Place2Be, as well as Clinical Lead in London and West, her areas of expertise include attachment issues, developmental trauma, relationship and family difficulties, stress management, depression, anxiety, parental mental health and adoption related issues.
Cecilia is a qualified supervisor with extensive experience of providing clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists and she is an accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
Her approach is integrative, and brings together elements of psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioural and systemic theories in order to meet the unique needs of each client. Cecilia’s interest in Attachment Theory and its practical applications both within clinical practice and the school setting, has led her to pursue further training in Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. This has given her an enhanced understanding of how to work with families who have experienced trauma.
She is especially passionate about children’s mental health and supporting parents to achieve the best possible outcomes for their children. As well as psychotherapy and counselling, Cecilia offers parent coaching, with a focus on helping parents develop insight and understanding into their children’s behaviour, as well as strategies to deal with parenting challenges.
