Finding a counsellor can be overwhelming and it's important to find the right fit for your child.
I'm a warm and welcoming therapist and I support young people aged 9-14. I can help with issues including self-esteem, social skills, relationships, anxiety, body image. trauma grief, and family transitions such as divorce. The process of finding a therapist for your child can be daunting, which is why I do all I can to make parents and carers feel at ease with the counselling process. My approach is play-based, meaning that while there is definitely talking that happens, I use developmentally appropriate techniques including expressive arts, sand tray and games.

The relationship I develop with your child supports them to feel fully understood and develop communication and strategies to deal with overwhelming emotions.
Often children don’t have words to describe their experiences and feelings and instead reveal them through behaviours which can be misunderstood. They may get into trouble, be labelled, or disconnect. I work with children and families just like this. As a carer, reaching out for support can be the hardest step. I work closely with you and your child through Play Therapy which is relationship based therapy for children aged 3-12 years. Play is a child’s natural way of communicating and Play Therapy creates the environment where the therapist enters into a child’s world and understands the experience from their perspective.

My decision to choose the path of play and creative therapy was borne out of a love and passion for helping children, our most valuable and vulnerable treasures.
Like a flower, we bloom in the right environment; in the play therapy room I work with empathy and acceptance to create a safe space for children and families in order for them to work through their issues and “grow”. I recognise the importance of family and offer assistance to parents and carers to work towards a safer, happier and more relaxed home environment in a strength-based way. Child-centred Play Therapy is a gentle, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming way of supporting children in their unique reactions to coping with daily life, big life events or trauma and attachment issues.
