I set up my private practice therapy room in summer 2019 and am grateful that my client base grew quickly simply through word of mouth.

I work with both private referrals as well as families referred by Adoption Support Teams, where the therapy is funded by the Adoption Support Fund.

I have been working with children for over 25 years.  I qualified as a Children and Families Social Worker in 2002, then as a Play Therapist and Theraplay Therapist in 2009.

I have 2 children and a dog.  Although not an official therapy dog, she can make an appearance for a stroke or treat giving if so desired!

I believe strongly in the power of play, but also in the importance of working with families together to bring positive change.  The systemic approach has always made the most sense to me as it takes into account the context - the family and environment the child is in.
