  I have experience working in

  I work with children who have social and emotional difficulties, witnessed domestic violence, experience anxiety, bereavement and loss, attachment difficulties and trauma. Having taught in 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 playroom. 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.

  Theoretical Approach

  I use a largely non-directive, child-centred approach, but integrate more directive approaches if appropriate.

  I am passionate about facilitating growth for the child, whatever issues they bring into the playroom. I am experienced in working with preverbal and developmental trauma. This includes neglect, abuse, loss and separation. I am also experienced in working with neurodivergent children and gender expansiveness. I am a client-centred Play Therapist. However, depending on my client's needs, I sometimes use a more directive type of play therapy. I also observe cultural differences and incorporate the child’s systems (school, family, agencies) into my work.

  Theoretical Approach

  I work considering attachment theory and the humanistic and psychodynamic approaches to play therapy. I am a firm advocate for creativity in the playroom, as it has the power to access the unconscious. I also offer a variety of art materials.

I live in London and work with families in various London boroughs. I have 4 years of experience as a Play Therapist in schools and a private clinic. I am passionate about making a positive change in the lives of children and their families. Particularly those who experience significant life events that impact on their wellbeing, learning and behaviour. I provide safe and confidential space for the children to access their inner resources such as memories, thoughts and feelings suppressed in the subconscious and provide safe space for them to be able to restore these and bring them into the ‘conscious’ through play. I follow the child’s lead and communicate that I am able to carry those ‘heavy thoughts’ with them. I accept the children as they are and therefore help them develop appreciation for their play as well as themselves. I am particularly interested in sensory and messy play. As a therapist, being able to contain the mess the child makes, I communicate that I am able to contain the chaos from within and therefore contain their confused emotional experiences.

  Theoretical Approach

  I mainly use Child-Centred Non-Directive Play Therapy approach; however, I can combine elements of CBT, narrative, or art therapy depending on the child’s needs. I am also qualified for Filial Therapy. My practice is mainly informed by developmental, attachment and cognitive theories.

My work is predominantly supporting children with early/complex traumas and children with special needs. I have worked with children from various cultural backgrounds and religions. I believe in the therapeutic power of play and that play is a fundamental way for children to express themselves, make sense of their experiences, communicate their needs, and process different feelings. I have developed effective play therapy skills, and each intervention is tailored to the individual needs of each child and family.

  I have experience working in

  I specialise in using therapeutic play and creative arts to promote children's mental well-being and help them explore difficult experiences. Through play therapy, children can express themselves in a safe and accepting environment, work towards understanding their emotions, and make sense of their life experiences. I have 25 years of experience working with children and families in different roles. I utilise a variety of materials such as toys, art supplies, sensory toys, sand, and water beads to aid in the children's process. Materials used are informed by neuroscience to aid emotional regulation and repair negative experiences. I work with children who have been exposed to trauma, child abuse, domestic violence, parental separation and loss. I also have experience in working with care-experienced and adopted children. I am experienced with neurodiverse children (ASD, ADHD, SPD). I am registered with Adopt London South as an ASF provider. I understand how challenging parenting can be, especially when you are concerned about your child's mental health, anxiety, self-esteem or experiences. Alongside therapy sessions, I offer support to carers. Outcomes for children include aiding in recovery from difficult life experiences, improved mental well-being, and increased receptiveness to learning. I offer sessions in a private, child-friendly and confidential setting at my private practice in Raynes Park (SW20), but it is possible to deliver sessions in a different setting. Flexible hours are available. I offer weekly 1:1 sessions in a child-friendly and confidential setting. I have updated availability after school and Saturday mornings

  Theoretical Approach

  I provide child-centered play therapy services, which offer a creative environment for children to explore their emotions and experiences. Children use play as a language to communicate and express themselves. Through the use of toys and creative arts, children explore challenging experiences freely. Children can make sense of their world and work towards mastery of their emotions and experiences.

I also work with children who have special educational needs (SEN), including ASD and ADHD. I take a child-centered approach to therapy, allowing the child to take the lead during our sessions. I believe in the power of play to help children express their feelings, work through their experiences, and find ways to heal. While I mainly use a non-directive style, I tailor my approach when needed to best support each child's unique needs. Working closely with parents, teachers, and others involved in the child’s life is also a big part of my process. Together, we ensure the child receives consistent care and understanding, helping them feel safe and supported on their journey.

  Theoretical Approach

  Non-directive, Child-Centred Play Therapy

  Supporting children with behavioural and attachment challenges, including those who have experienced loss, neglect, bereavement, or exposure to domestic abuse. I have experience working in primary schools, NHS, and a bereavement charity. I utilise a child-centred, therapeutic approach that leverages play as a means of communication and emotional expression. It helps children explore feelings, process experiences, and develop coping strategies in a safe and supportive environment from a therapeutic relationship. I also integrate psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches to help children process emotions, develop resilience, and build healthier relationships by addressing both conscious and unconscious experiences in a creative form. Techniques may include creative play, storytelling, art, sand tray therapy, and role-playing, tailored to the child's needs and developmental level.

  Humanistic, Child-Centred Play Therapy, Trauma-informed, and Psychodynamic

  I have experience working in

  My work involves using therapeutic play and creative arts to help children to process their difficult experiences and concept of self, and to help promote their emotional and mental wellbeing. I have experience working with children who are struggling with a range of issues, including adoption, attachment, trauma, neurodiversity, self-harm, school refusal, bullying, bereavement and loss. As a person-centred therapist, I largely work non-directively, allowing the child to direct the sessions, though there are times where it is more appropriate to gently guide the child, so a more directive stance may be taken. My yoga teacher experience influences my practice too, and where appropriate, I use breathing and embodied movement techniques to help promote self-regulation strategies. I continue to teach alongside my therapeutic work, and my vast experience in a variety of inner-London schools has embedded my deep understanding of the systemic barriers that many children face. By also drawing on a range of theoretical approaches, including neuroscientific, attachment, psychoanalytic, and person-centred theories, I strive to take a holistic view of each child’s challenges, considering not only their individual experiences but also the wider context of their family, school, and social environment. By understanding the bigger picture, and working collaboratively with both parents/ carers and schools, I offer therapeutic interventions that address the root causes of behavioural and emotional difficulties, helping children build resilience, self-awareness, and the skills they need to cope with life’s challenges.

  Theoretical Approach

  Child-centred, with some directive work where appropriate.
