About me

I am a qualified therapist specialising in neurodiversity-affirming play therapy for children aged 6–18. My work is grounded in the belief that children do well when they feel safe, understood, and supported, and that lasting change comes from understanding rather than pressure.

I work primarily with children who are struggling within mainstream school settings, including those who feel overwhelmed, mask their feelings, or find it difficult to express what’s going on for them. Many of the children I support are neurodivergent, or are exploring this, and therapy is adapted to each child’s individual needs, communication style, and sensory profile.

I place a strong emphasis on emotional safety, consent, and working at the child’s pace. Play and creative expression allow children to communicate in ways that feel natural to them, particularly when words are hard to find.

Alongside my private practice, I have experience working within school environments, which informs my understanding of the pressures children face day to day. I aim to work collaboratively with parents, while ensuring the therapy space remains a confidential and protected place for the child.
