My approach

I am a fully qualified certified Play Therapist. I have experience of working with children therapeutically within a school environment. I aim to establish a good therapeutic relationship with each child and young person through using the Therapeutic Play approach which is child-centred and integrative; drawing on a variety therapeutic techniques and therapeutic media to meet the needs of each individual child to enable them to communicate and express their conscious and unconscious feelings and emotions freely. I work independently to support children aged 4-13 with their social, emotional, and mental health needs.

I am a member of the PTUK and adhered to their ethical framework.

What is Play Therapy?

Therapeutic play provides children with the opportunity to process and work through their feelings, emotions and experiences using a range of therapeutic media within the safety of a therapeutic relationship, underpinned by a non-directive approach. It helps children to express themselves in their own way; especially if they are struggling to understand how they are feeling, or are finding it hard to put their experiences into words.
