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.

 

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.

 

 

Therapy for Adoptive Families

 

  • I provide therapy 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 to Adoption Support Teams

 

  • I provide therapeutic support and guidance to Social Workers.

 

  • 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.

 

 

 

 

 

Theraplay with Older Adults

 

  • This can be group or individual Theraplay within a retirement or care home setting.

 

  • Theraplay, originally designed for children, can be adapted for use with people of all ages.

 

  • It can be particularly helpful in addressing loneliness, cognitive decline, physical limitations, and general emotional well being.
