Services 

Play Therapy 

 

  • Play therapy allows children to explore their worries and challenges through play in a way that feels natural and safe.

 

  • Depending on the child’s needs, I may guide the process, or follow the child’s lead, using a variety of techniques to support emotional, behavioural, or developmental growth.

 

  • This work can take place with the child alone or with their parent/carer.

 

Theraplay & Family Therapy

  • Theraplay builds and enhances attachment, self-esteem, trust in others, self regulation and joyful engagement. 

 

  • Theraplay helps the parent or carer (who participates in the sessions) be more attuned to their child and understand the motives of their child’s behaviour and their underlying needs.

 

 

 

 

 

Parent/Carer Support Sessions

  • You’ll find a non-judgemental, safe, and confidential space where you can talk openly about any worries or challenges you're facing at home with your child.

 

  • Depending on your needs, I can offer practical suggestions to try at home or simply provide a listening ear—supporting you in finding the right path forward for you and your family.

 

  • These sessions can take place at a frequency that is helpful to you, or as stand alone sessions to help reset.

EMDR Therapy

 

  • EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing.

 

  • It is a psychotherapy suitable for adults, teenagers and children, including neurodivergent individuals.

 

  • It is a powerful therapy that helps people recover from problems triggered by traumatic events in their lives.  It stops difficult memories causing distress by helping the brain to reprocess them properly. 

 

Therapy for Adoptive Families

 

  • I provide therapeutic support either directly to adoptive families or through the Local Authority & the Adoption Support Fund.

 

  • My work with adoptive families has been a central focus of my practice, and through this extensive experience, I’ve gained a deep understanding of their unique strengths and challenges.

 

  • This may include Theraplay, Play Therapy, life story work, and therapeutic parenting sessions, depending on the needs of the child and family.

Consultation & Supervision to Social Care Teams

  • I provide supervision, therapeutic support and guidance to Social Workers in Adoption Support teams, Looked After Children teams, Residential Children Homes.

 

  • As a qualified Social Worker with experience working in Local Authorities as both a practitioner and manager, I have a thorough understanding of the frameworks, demands, and contexts in which Social Workers operate.

 

  • Please contact me for further information.

Supervision for Play Therapists

 

  • I offer in person or online sessions, or a mixture of the two.  

 

  • I am an Approved Supervisor with PTUK.

 

  • I provide a safe and contained space where we can work collaboratively, building your trust, confidence, and competence over time.

 

 

 

 

 

Guided Meditation Therapy

 

  • Guided meditation therapy, suitable for children, teenagers, and adults, is a gentle yet powerful approach (similar to hypnotherapy) that can support change and healing in many areas of life.

 

  • It can help with managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, chronic pain, trauma, phobias, and addictive behaviours.

 

  • Change can take place quickly, in as little as 2-6  sessions.
