I really love what I do! I am a registered certified Play Therapist with over 15 years’ experience in education and communications. I really believe in the transformative power of play therapy having watched many children in over a thousand hours of play therapy sessions, revel in discovering their inner wisdom and strength. I’ve seen children leave play therapy exclaiming “I’ve got this!”.
It is this sense of empowerment, of courage that makes me truly believe in this work.
How I work
What is Play Therapy?
A child may not have the words to describe how they are feeling, or why they are behaving as they do. They may also not be able to recognise what they find difficult, or explain it to someone if asked. Play Therapy provides the expertise and time to do this through play using carefully selected materials/medium such as sand, clay, puppets, art materials, music, movements and sensory play.
