Experience
My work as a play therapist enables me to understand and support those who have been impacted by trauma. I believe that we all benefit from getting curious about the way our nervous system works.
I set up private practice and have been supporting children, families and professionals in the Hampshire area since 2014.
I am a UK therapist registered with BACP
Education
Portsmouth Uni Bsc Social Work 1st class honours
Canterbury Christ Church Uni Post Grad Play Therapy Dips
Healing through playful connections
Knowing that our brain is designed to protect us can help us understand why we act the way we do.
Children will often be able to show us how they feel by the way they play or interact with others. Their behavior can be seen as symptoms.
These symptoms are the nervous system's way of communicating.
Once we learn this form of communication we recognise that all our social interactions are shaped by our human biology.
