As a dedicated Play Therapist based in Milton Keynes, I specialise in providing therapeutic interventions for children within schools as well as in an independent, purposeful setting.
With a passion for fostering emotional well-being, I offer tailored play-based sessions that empower children to understand and navigate their emotions, promoting positive relationships with those around them.
I collaborate with schools and parents to enhance the emotional resilience and overall mental wellbeing of the children under their care.

Therapeutic Play
I play a pivotal role in introducing and facilitating therapeutic interventions in schools through the implementation of play therapy programs.
Focus is on fostering emotional and psychological well-being among pupils, with schools providing the platform for me to actively contribute to creating a supportive and enriching environment within their setting.
Through these initiatives, I work to address the unique challenges that pupils face, promoting their mental health and overall well-being in an inclusive, non-judgemental and child-led manner.
Dedicated School Setting
Dedicated therapy space
I have use of a dedicated and independent therapy space within which to carry out therapeutic play sessions.
Should you feel that your child or young person would benefit from therapeutic play, I would love to hear from you. Initially, I will ask you to complete a Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and then we would discuss the results together. Where appropriate, your child or young person could complete a form as well. If we decide that therapeutic play is the way to go, you and your child or young person will be invited to an introductory session.
Rest assured that I have the relevant qualifications and insurances in place, including an enhanced DBS check, and that I operate in a fully inclusive, child-centred manner, meaning that the well-being of your child, regardless of any special or additional needs, will always be at the centre of everything I do.
