Availability
I offer weekly 1:1 sessions in a child-friendly and confidential setting. I have updated availability for after-school sessions and Saturday mornings.About me and my therapy practice
I understand how challenging parenting can be, especially when you are concerned about your child's mental health, anxiety, self-esteem or experiences.
I offer a creative, playful environment where children can express themselves using play and creative arts as tools to process their experiences. Alongside therapy sessions, I offer support to carers. Outcomes for children include aiding in recovery from difficult life experiences, improved mental well-being, and increased receptiveness to learning.
I specialise in using therapeutic play and creative arts to promote children's mental well-being and help them explore difficult experiences. Through play therapy, children can express themselves in a safe and accepting environment, work towards understanding their emotions, and make sense of their life experiences. I have 25 years of experience working with children and families in different roles. I utilise a variety of materials such as toys, art supplies, sensory toys, sand, and water beads to aid in the children's process. Materials used are informed by neuroscience to aid emotional regulation and repair negative experiences.
I work with children who have been exposed to trauma, child abuse, domestic violence, parental separation and loss. I am experienced with neurodiverse children (ASD, ADHD, SPD). I also have experience in working with care-experienced and adopted children. I am registered with Adopt London South as an ASF provider.
