I have been described as speaking fluent child and with almost three decades of working with children and families in various capacities, I have come to understand that love, compassion, and co-regulation are the essential elements to healing and self-actualization.
My passion is to help children of all ages who may feel anxious; emotionally dysregulated; and mentally and physically exhausted feel at ease again in their bodies, their mind, their surroundings and their relationships. Alongside this, I support worried parents by empowering them to change the dynamics of their family in order to redress the balance and bring about harmony once again. It is crucial as a practitioner to view your family construct individually, to form a relationship with your family members and to create a bespoke package of treatment that you all feel comfortable with.

It can be hard seeing your child suffering with their mental health and it can be challenging taking the first steps to get therapy, but the benefits are life-changing.
If a young person in your family is feeling down, anxious or worried, coming to play and arts therapy can make all the difference. This mode of therapy is ideal for children and young people, a safe space for them to explore their emotions and to develop key skills to help them feel happy and confident. I have had many years of experience working with children both in schools and privately and especially children with Autism and ADHD.

Many of us experience emotional difficulties at some point in our lives. It can feel daunting to reach out when a current challenge or symptom is holding you back. This is when a supportive relationship with a therapist can help. I offer a safe and confidential space where you can share your feelings without fear or judgement. This step may lead to a deeper understanding about what is troubling you and where lasting change and personal growth may be possible.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable.

I can work face-to-face at my therapy space in central Reading, Berkshire. Or online by video or telephone. I also offer supervision to CYP counsellors and psychotherapists.

My professional stance, which is supported by the PTUK ethical framework, is reflected through the play therapy sessions with children, interrelationships with parents and other professionals linked with the children.
Play is the child’s nature medium of self-expression – It is essential for development. In the play therapy sessions, the child has opportunity to ‘play out’ their feelings and problems. The intervention has a significant impact on how children view themselves and their future success as students, members of the community, family members, and human beings. Children sometimes experience difficulties and present challenging behaviours. I may contribute to their soul’s playfulness and lightness through the play. Therapeutic intervention plan using non-directive and Integrative Holistic Play Therapy.
