I believe every child has a right to be heard and listened to; to be accepted and respected
without judgement, for who they are, whatever their background or circumstances. 

 

I am a PTUK play therapist who has extensive experience of working with children
displaying a range of behaviours resulting from events such as bereavement and loss,
disrupted attachment, trauma and abuse, as well as conditions such as Asperger's,
autism, ADHD, PTSD, FASD and ODD.  I use a range of different techniques including
non-directive Play Therapy, Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP).

​

I also offer clinical supervision to play therapists and some other modalities.
