I work with children, young people and families that are experiencing mental emotional or behavioural difficulties ranging from mild unease to those with more severe neurodevelopmental disorders.
I am a qualified play therapist. I am registered with BACP and PTUK
I work with children and young people on a one-to-one basis and also in therapeutic groups. My work involves helping children to become present, and to understand and express their emotions. This is done through a wide range of creative modalities including arts, sand, therapeutic stories and visualisations. One of the main mediums I use is clay. I have found this to be particularly affective for children suffering attachment issues and childhood trauma. I have used clay in therapeutic groups and again I find it particularly affective in helping clients to connect to a deeper sense of self and also those around them. Another area of my work is with parents and their child where relationships have become fragmented. Here I use clay to help bring to light dynamics within the relationship and forge ways for building stronger family connections through shared experiences in working together. Clay offers a somatic malleable medium that can be used to express our inner worlds, but can also be manipulated and changed organically as we progress through our own processes. Having been experientially trained, and having maintained a personal practice working with clay, I know how life changing clay is as a therapeutic modality.
