I have worked in special education since 2017, supporting children and young people with SEND and social, emotional and mental health needs. I use a range of therapeutic approaches, always adapting my work to suit each child as an individual.

My approach is trauma-informed, nurture-based, and relationship-centred, with a strong focus on helping children feel safe, understood, and valued. I am passionate about supporting children to grow in confidence and develop their social and emotional skills through empathy, creativity, and play.

Fun fact: I love expressing myself through creative activities and play alongside the child, encouraging them to express themselves too.

I have been working with children since 2009, developing extensive experience supporting their emotional wellbeing, development, and learning. My approach is rooted in a deep passion for education, movement, drama, and therapeutic practice, recognising the powerful role creativity plays in a child’s growth.

As a qualified therapist specialising in play-based approaches, I create safe, engaging spaces where children can express themselves, build confidence, and process their experiences in a way that feels natural to them. I am committed to nurturing each child’s individuality, supporting their emotional resilience, and helping them thrive both personally and socially.

I completed my degree of Therapeutic Play, Playwork and Youth Studies in University of East London in 2009.

I have worked with children in Local authorities fostering team, private sector and charity from 2006. I never stopped learning and loving interacting with children and parents and carer. I take great joy in seeing smiles on facing and my personality and knowledhe allows me to make impact that are positive for all the people I met.

I’m passionate about supporting children in a child-centred way, where they feel happy, safe, and able to be themselves.

For me, a child’s happiness and wellbeing always come first. I believe that when children feel understood and supported, they can truly thrive, both emotionally and in their learning. I enjoy creating a calm, nurturing space where children can grow in confidence, build resilience, and feel proud of who they are.

Fun fact: I can’t eat an Easter egg without having a chocolatey face. I end up with a chocolatey smile all on my cheeks!
