About me and my therapy practice
Sometimes coping with life can become problematic because situations may lead us along a difficult pathway. We may try to understand our own behaviours, thoughts and emotions and those of others, but coping may not be easy. I regard each person as an individual in their own right, so my practice aims to suit diverse clients' needs. I bring together a variety of techniques to support people with a range of issues.
I offer my support to clients of all ages and I specialise in working with children and young people. I use play, art, drama techniques and sand play, combining both talking and creative therapies. I sometimes offer online support.
I combine my clinical background with intuitive sense, empathy and a deep perception of client need. As a clinician, I practiced at senior level within NHS and non-statutory sectors and I was formerly a consultant at the national charity, Drugscope. As a teacher, I used my sensitivity to connect with the needs of people of all ages.
