About me

I'm a Play Therapist based in Portobello, Edinburgh, offering private therapy sessions in schools Tuesday-Thursday and in a dedicated therapy room on Fridays. I specialise in ADHD, autism and anxiety but am qualified to support children experiencing a wide range of difficulties.

I am an Edinburgh Council Approved Provider - schools can get in touch to book a half day or full day per week.

Training, qualifications & experience

I completed a BA (Hons) in Education Studies and Philosophy in 2018, then went on to study a Post Graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play and Post Graduate Diploma in Play Therapy with Play Therapy UK. I have worked in a wide variety of settings including nurseries, schools, residential childcare and SEN provisions.
