Human beings are complicated-so often we attempt to reach out to others using words to express our thoughts, our emotions, and our behaviours. With children/youth, we see additional communication barriers because of fewer words and limited life experiences. Being part of a family system should bring safety and emotional support but sometimes this is not possible without help. My work is to enable us to become partners in the process of change- discovering strengths, new awareness and building on this. Imagine my holding up a mirror for you, so that with each session, you are able to discover and appreciate more of who you truly are.
Words alone don't always communicate people's struggles. I use my additional training in Play Therapies, Art, Drama, Movement- to help clients (even very young ones) explore difficult feelings -frustration, anger, sadness, confusion, etc. Together we build safety and trust through a broad range of activities, including sandtray and sensory tasks.
Beyond formal education, I have worked in schools, institutions, agencies, foundations and private practice. Having worn the hats of teacher, special needs advocate, workshop and group leader, mental health worker, consultant, and clinical supervisor- I have learned the value of creating relationship first, and allowing the client to lead the process.
