I have experience working in
After 20 years in the teaching profession and witnessing the effect of childhood trauma on a child's ability to learn, socialise and particpate fully in everyday life I decided to retrain as a Play therapist. I now work with children who are referred with emotional or behavioural difficulties. I work both in schools, privately and for the charity Barnardos. My huge experience in schools helps me to successfully work systemically with everyone involved with the child. I work with children who have witnessed domestic abuse, anxiety difficulties, attachment difficulties or have experinced bereavement, divorce or separation. My aim is to help every child to thrive, reach their potential and to be happy.

I have experience working in
Schools and the charity sector (family centre). I have worked with children who have social and emotional difficulties, witnessed domestic violence, experiencing anxiety, bereavement and loss, attachment difficulties and trauma.
Having taught in primary schools for over 10 years, I have a good understanding of some of the social and emotional difficulties children face every day. I have seen how trauma can impact a child’s ability to learn and function effectively in everyday life. This encouraged me to retrain as a Play Therapist.
I use this knowledge to enhance my work in the play room. I work creatively, putting the child at the heart of the therapy, giving them time and space to make sense of their world whilst providing a safe, nurturing environment.
I work holistically, building excellent therapeutic relationships with children, their families and other professionals around the child.
