My Experience

I have thirty years experience working with children and young people in many different roles, this is in therapeutic and non therapeutic roles.

I have experience of working with children within early years settings, infant and junior and secondary schools, and colleges. In addition, I have worked within specialist provisions, special educational needs schools and child development centres. 

I have worked with children with complex disabilities and medical needs, children with sensory impairment, children with speech and language needs and neurodivergent children.

I also have experience working as a school counsellor and working as a therapist in children and adolescent mental health (CAMHS).

I have experience of working with children therapeutically from 5-18yrs. 

When I work with children and young people, I work in ways which are engaging to them, this can be through play, games, arts and crafts, sensory play, the use of worksheets and talking therapy. 

​

Within the assessment session, a child's or young person's preferred activity and any special interests will be discussed to ensure each child and young person feels their sessions are tailored for them and to help them to feel comfortable in engaging within the sessions. 

​

I welcome and encourage feedback from children and young people to allow for the sessions to be adapted to ensure the sessions  are helpful and enjoyable.
