I am the lead therapist at the Family Separation Clinic and specialise in working with divorce and separation and its impact on children. I am a psychotherapist with over twenty five years experience in working with parents and children affected by family separation. I am an internationally recognised expert on children’s post separation rejecting behaviours and the phenomenon of the alienated child.

As well as my work as a therapist, I work as an expert witness in the family courts and deliver training to professionals around the world. I am an author and blogger and write for the Huffington Post on issues that affect the family.I am currently studying for a PhD.
