As a therapist, I love working with children: learning about their families, their strengths, challenges, the problems which are worrying them and affecting their behavior. In our sessions we play and create things together, as play is the medium of communication for children in therapy, equivalent to adults' verbal engagement. Through talk and play, we develop an authentic emotional connection, in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Trust and collaboration are essential to the work of therapy for children as well as adults.

In our sessions we play, create and talk in order to understand and improve problem situations and behavior.
During this very difficult time, adults and children alike are struggling within the changed conditions of our lives. it seems more urgent than ever to build understanding of who we are and the qualities we would like to develop within in order to cope more effectively. Please get in touch to arrange a phone consultation and we'll take it from there.
