It is often hard to reach out for help when things are difficult so well done for getting  this far. I work with clients of all ages, particularly young children. I am an integrative therapist and use a variety of approaches including talking, creativity, play and sand-play as well as CBT and mindfulness with clients if they wish. I help clients to process and not just talk about their pains or struggles,   but respect my clients own feelings  about how they want to work with me. With children I use play, puppets and art and creativity as well as sandplay to help them process their difficult feelings.  Alongside this I work with their carers in a systematic way to best support the child. Having done my own extensive therapeutic journey, I know the importance of safety, trust, autonomy and non-judging acceptance  in the work. My client is always in control of their own therapy journey and I value the confidentiality of the work no matter what age, within the limits set by legal and ethical considerations. I work with bereavement, trauma, abuse, attachment, anxiety, disordered eating, neurodivergent clients, those questioning their gender or sexuality, and those struggling with low self-esteem.
