Are you feeling worried, confused and overwhelmed about your child's current emotional and psychological well being? You're trying so hard every day and nothing seems to stick. You know deep in your heart there must be a better way to improve how you & your child are feeling so life can be easier to manage. You're searching for someone who is experienced with children, and who can also provide support to you. I specialise with anxiety, attachment, trauma & challenging behaviours by focussing on restoring feelings of safety in the nervous system. I can help you and your child break through the negative experiences and restore hope.
I specialise in therapeutic Play Therapy, a powerful, evidence based, developmentally appropriate therapy approach for children aged 3-12. I also specialise in Filial Therapy, and Family Therapy. Through our work together, you will feel more supported and your child will improve their coping & increase their self esteem which will transfer into areas of life
I am a warm and friendly child and family therapist with 20 years professional experience. I am passionate about supporting you and your child feel seen, soothed, connected and understood. I would love to help through all my years of experience and help you regain hope and energy and improve relationship with yourself and your child

Therapeutic Play Therapy with an experienced and qualified play therapist is very different to the use of play as an adjunct to therapy to help the child engage. Using child centered, Synergetic play therapy modalilty, your child will get to process their challenges in their own way in the safety of the therapeutic environment but most importantly through the attuned trained therapist.
