I have been working with children and their families around the world for 25 years. I have sensitively supported a diverse range of parents and carers in multi-cultural environments. I am extremely sensitive to the complexities that families face and treat everyone with the utmost respect.
I am a fully qualified Play Therapist with a degree in Early Years. I studied child development and continue to be fascinated by neuroscience and brain development.
As a mum and step mum to 5 girls, I have first-hand experience of the ever-changing challenges faced when raising children. As parents or carers, we are constantly having to set and reset the boundaries, responsibilities, and freedom we allow our children. I am passionate about supporting adults to:
• Take time to CONNECT with their children
• Actively listen and be able to REFLECT so they can see things through the eyes of their children
• Create a relationship where PACE is at the core of a trusting relationship. (Dan Hughes)
• Support adults to be honest, but also kind to themselves, so they can ACCEPT the situation and become fully open to change
The ethos at Express Yourself is to ensure each and every client receives the same high-quality service. I am a reflective practitioner who continues to enhance my professional development. I have a current DBS, public and professional liability insurance and ICO registration. I comply with the Data Protection Act (2018) and GDPR.
