I have extensive experience working with children and young people - by using creative techniques such as puppet/figure work, sand trays and paints/clay it allows me to gain insight into the child's world and identify areas they need support with when verbal communication is difficult. This in turn can help to build confidence, strengthen self-esteem and lessen anxiety. As a result children can find themselves in a better place to engage within the classroom, impacting positively on educational attainment.

I believe good therapy can bring about a fuller understanding of self, no matter how old we are and ultimately towards transformation, should this be the wish. Moving away from what was and towards what we would like it to be.

I am experienced in facilitating this process through exploration of thoughts and feelings, challenging safely and appropriately so that a deeper understanding of who we are; our behaviours and triggers can be gained. I strive to work empathically and without judgement believing that offering these core conditions allows you, the client to feel safe and valued within the space.

I am bound by a strict code of ethical conduct and as such containment is key in helping to build trust within the relationship; a key element in the therapeutic process.
