Thanks for dropping by. I work with children, parents and schools helping towards more creative, fulfilling and balanced ways of being in the world.

• You may be a parent who is worried about your child/ young person’s wellbeing. They may be struggling with anxiety, sleep issues, feeling overwhelmed or stressed at school or they are finding frienships difficult. Maybe they just don’t seem as carefree and happy as they used to be, or a life event has thrown them off balance. Using the arts and play in child counselling sessions can help restore wellbeing and vitality.

• Maybe you work in education and are interested in developing a more conscious, nurturing and mindful approach with a focus on creativity and relationship. Click on the link below to find out more.

Child counselling

What is it like to work with me?

Some of the values and beliefs that guide all of my work are:

• That each person is infinitely resourceful, resilient and creative; I hold space for that version of you (or your child) to be in the room

• That a guiding principle in being human is that we are all seeking to belong, to be together and to collaborate

• A belief that many of us are living in deficit; we don’t have time in our lives for enough joy, playfulness or connection with others

• A belief that consciously making time for joy, playfulness and connection with others is a crucial for health and wellbeing (children can help adults with this!)

• I bring acceptance and validation to all of my work; I know that we can’t bypass our painful or difficult feelings

• That we are all connected; to each other, to the natural world and to something bigger than ourselves

• That children are intuitive and wise souls; let’s listen to them, learn their language (it’s different to ours) and co-create with them

• I am committed to working ethically and with integrity

• ‘If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got’.  Let’s do things differently!
