Hi, I'm Jo. I'm a qualified Play Therapist who loves to help children, and their families, live happier lives.
Children can find it hard to explain their feelings in adult words; using play, the child can express themselves more clearly. As I help the child to understand what is happening within them, the child can begin to develop new coping strategies. I believe play therapy builds self awareness, resilience, self-confidence and understanding of others.
I practice in a systemic manner, which means I like to work closely with the adults around the child. This helps me to support not just the child, but the family as a whole.
I believe all children regardless of their abilities or background, deserve the chance to thrive. I have experience working with trauma, behavioural concerns, anxiety, selective mutism, separation, and bereavement. I am also experienced in working with ASD and ADHD.
I can work in the child's school, or hold sessions in a therapy room in Southend.
I understand that choosing therapy can be a big commitment, so you want to have a chat with any potential therapist before making a decision. If you have further questions or feel that play therapy may be the right option for you, please feel free to contact me for a free 20 minute call to discuss your situation.
