My name is Michelle, I have an MA in Child, Family and Community Studies, and am an accredited Play Therapist. I work holistically with children who experience emotional and / or behavioural problems. Play therapy offers an opportunity to allow a child to play out their feelings. Children are much more comfortable playing out a problem rather than talking about it, Play is the most natural form of communication for a child, therefore is often used in place of talking therapy for children.

With children I use play therapy techniques and sandplay as appropriate to help them explore, verbalize and express their feelings and emotions.
Are you feeling stressed, anxious or have low mood? Emotions all over the place? Difficulty sleeping or concentrating? It helps to talk to someone outside your immediate family who will not judge. Therapy can be a healthy way to explore emotions and feelings, you can get a different perspective on the situation, work on your coping skills and strengthen your boundaries. You can disclose whatever you feel comfortable with, at your own pace, in a safe private and confidential space.

My experience in supporting clients with mental health concerns has been built over the last 15 years. I work with children, adolescents, couples and individual adults. In the first session the aim is to get to know each other and figure out how we will work together, set up therapy goals and agree on the frequency of the sessions. I will take a detailed history and gain a strong understanding of the current issue by the end of the session.

Most people experience emotional distress or feel stuck or unfulfilled at times in life.

I accept and affirm diversity in all forms.
