As an Accredited Play and Creative Arts Therapist and teenage counsellor with experience as a children and families social worker previously, I recognise that many young people experience the stresses of life in different ways and that sometimes events and subsequent feelings may become overwhelming and cause anxiety or a sense of isolation. This can then have a knock on effect to other aspects of life such as relationships, engagement with school work and own sense of identity and self worth. I understand their need for a sense of respite and an opportunity to explore experiences or confusions in a safe and non-judgmental place.

I know from experience that everyone has the ability to bring about positive change in their lives. We can all learn, heal, and grow. I have been in private practice since 2006, working with private clients as well as with professional referrals. During this time I have amassed well over 14,000 sessions with clients (my sessions last a full 60 minutes). . I mostly work online but do have limited spaces available for face to face (with COVID precautions in place)
