About me
Welcome, I am a Certified Play and Creative Arts Therapist supporting children and families through a range of emotional, behavioural and developmental challenges.
I understand how upsetting it can be to see your child struggling, and how difficult it can feel to reach out for help. Through many years of working with children and families, I have seen first hand the positive impact that play and creativity can have in helping children feel happier, healthier and more like themselves.
Play and Creative Arts Therapy can support children and families through a wide range of challenges and life experiences. I have a particular interest in working with children who have experienced trauma, helping them to express difficult feelings, make sense of their experiences and build resilience through play.
I work from my therapy room in Leominster, a welcoming and nurturing space where children can express themselves in ways that feel natural to them. The room is equipped with a variety of therapeutic materials, including sand, art resources, toys, clay and creative activities, allowing children to communicate and explore their experiences even when they may not know what to say.
Parents and carers are an important part of the therapeutic process too. Alongside a comfortable sofa and a hot drink, I offer a supportive space to reflect, share concerns and think together about how best to support your child.
Contact me for a no pressure chat to discuss whether I might be a good fit for your family, school or organisation.
