Monday - Friday 10.30 - 17.30

I am a qualified play therapist who also uses creative arts, I am also a Clay Therapist and on the Association of Sandplay register. I work using an integrative, holistic model of therapy with all ages from 3 to adults of all ages.

Using play and creative arts allows the opportunity to express yourself through the unconscious without having to use words.  Often we (children and adults) do not have the words to express how we are feeling, connecting through play and creative arts allows us to make the unconscious conscious without having to use words. I provide a safe confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in whichever way they need to.

I also work with parents to provide them with support, help them develop the dyadic relationship. Where appropriate parents will come into the session with the child.

I work in a clinical practice, Spring Therapeutic Services, in Kempston, Bedfordshire. Where necessary children can also be seen in schools.

The initial consultation is used to discuss the needs of the client and to see if this would be the most appropriate service. Following this the relevant paperwork will be completed.

The client would then be welcomed to the first session where the boundaries of the sessions would be explained. 

Sessions are held at the same time, in the same place every week, to provide consistency and safety for the client.

I work Monday to Friday with some flexibility of hours.

I am a person centred creative therapist and a creative supervisor. I offer face to face and online creative supervision. I find working creatively bypasses the conscious process and gets straight to work with the unconscious, allowing us to see things that might not otherwise be seen.

I work from our practice in Kempston Bedfordshire, we have creative therapy spaces and will use the same space for each supervision, whenever possible.  The practice has some off road parking and is accessible for those with disabilities.

The first supervision meeting will be to get to know each other and see if we think that we will be able to work together, we will establish and agree a contract for the supervision process. The first meeting will be for half an hour and is not charged for. We will then agree a date for the next supervision session where we will begin to explore client work.

The School of Play and Creative Therapies offers online and face to face training and CPD to counsellors and therapists looking to develop and grow.
