About me
Prior to becoming a Play Therapist, I have worked for many years within education, predominately within the special needs sector with children and young people with additional barriers to learning, such as developmental trauma, family separation, bereavement, neurodiversity and attachment interruptions.
Through my educational experience and play therapy training, I have developed a broad knowledge base and deep understanding of child development and child-centred integrative way of therapeutic working This has given me the skills to listen compassionately and to understand, from their perspective, why they feel, behave and express their emotions in a particular way. To date, I have worked with children who have experienced bereavement, parental separation, anxiety, social isolation and friendship worries, social, emotional and behaviour regulation struggles.
I graduated as a fully qualified BAPT Play Therapist, with a MSc in Play Therapy (Distinction) from the University of South Wales in 2026. It is a privilege to support and work-alongside children who are finding life tough. Within a child-centred integrative approach, I work respectfully, sensitively and empathically in a trustful, non-judgemental way with families, and wider support networks, to help children heal and find their joy.
