About me
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated child psychotherapist, known for my fun-loving, quirky, and loyal nature. I specialise in working with children who have limited verbal communication skills and in some cases therapy for non-verbal children. My therapeutic approach is characterised by creativity and innovation, as I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for children to express themselves. With a bubbly and approachable demeanour, I establish a strong rapport with my young clients.
In my therapeutic practice, I combine person-centered approaches with developmental and attachment theories. Taking a holistic perspective, I integrate art, play, movement, role play, and storytelling into my work with young people and children. By employing a wide range of creative techniques, I aim to engage and connect with each child individually, fostering their personal growth and self-expression.
My passion lies in helping and supporting children in their journey to become the best versions of themselves. I find immense joy in inspiring and motivating young individuals, collaborating with them to identify and develop their unique individuality. By facilitating effective communication and self-discovery, I empower children to overcome challenges and cultivate a positive sense of self.
Training, qualifications & experience
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various childcare settings. I have worked as a nursery worker, a dance movement psychotherapist in mainstream primary schools, and have provided therapy in mental health hospitals. Additionally, I have served as an activity worker at healthcare facilities such as High Cross Hospital, Arden Lee Hospital, and a mother and baby unit at New Leaf Recovery Centre. I have also utilised movement therapy to address addiction issues and worked as a dance movement psychotherapist in a dementia care home. Currently, I am a part of the Murray Hall Community Team, where I serve as a creative arts therapist.
