About me

I offer trauma-informed, person-centred dramatherapeutic interventions for children and young people. My specialist areas include anxiety, low mood, self-harm, attachment difficulties, gender and sexuality exploration, long-term illness, experiences of abuse, and emotional dysregulation. Although these are my specialist areas, I am able to work with a broad range of mental health concerns due to my varied clinical experience. My practice includes working with individuals with specific learning needs and diverse neurocognitive profiles, tailoring interventions to client strengths and preferences.

Training, qualifications & experience

Professional Training

Dramatherapy – Advanced training in therapeutic techniques using drama and creative arts to support emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Includes practical application, group facilitation, and reflective practice in clinical or educational settings.
Enhanced Evidence-Based Practice – Training focused on applying research-informed interventions to optimize client outcomes. Strengthened skills in CBT techniques, including behavioural activation and exposure therapy, through integrating evidence, clinical expertise, and client-centred practice.

Professional Experience:

I have worked as a therapist for six years, four of which were within CAMHS in the NHS, supporting complex clients with a wide range of communication styles, learning needs, and developmental profiles. I tailor my approach to each young person, creating a safe, creative, and collaborative therapeutic space where they can explore their experiences and build emotional resilience.
