My Approach

Central to my work is the development of an empathic, curious and playful relationship in which difficult thoughts and emotions can be explored safely. I use play and art therapy in order to help children and young people explore their feelings. Alongside child counselling sessions, I also hold consultations with parents or carers to provide a space for them to think about what is happening within their family.
