After thirty years as a primary school teacher, I left the profession to utilise my skills in a holistic and therapeutic way. The journey to become a play therapist and supervisor has been amazing. I am passionate about play therapy, both working with children and young people, and supporting the work of other therapists in my role as a clinical supervisor

I offer Play Therapy to children and young people in schools, alternative provision and with private clients. I am commissioned by schools and alternative settings to provide play and creative therapy for children and young people with a range of needs including developmental trauma and neurodiversity.

I am approved by Adopt Southwest to work with children who are either in kinship care, foster care or pre or post adoption.

In addition to Play Therapy, I offer Therapeutic life story work, which can be part of Play Therapy Provision or standalone.

I am able to offer Sand play therapy to children and young people as part of my play therapy practice or as sand tray sessions.

I am a qualified supervisor and offer supervision for play therapists, therapists of children and young people. I work in person or online and able work with trainees.
