I am a fully qualified and highly experienced art psychotherapist, parent consultant, supervisor and under-5s specialist.

I provide evidence-based therapeutic services to children, families and adults through art psychotherapy, VIPP-SD (Video feedback Interaction to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline) and the Incredible Years Parenting Programme.

I also offer a consultation service to professionals who are concerned about an individual. I provide CPD/short courses and presentations to settings such as:

-Schools and nurseries (INSET)

- Child care settings,

- Health and social care providers

- Organisations on the following topics:

general mental health for adults, parents and children; managing difficult behaviour; attachment; inclusion, under 5s emotional wellbeing; team building and reflective practice.

I can also develop bespoke programmes for individual settings based on their need.

I am interested in therapy as I find it fascinating how each individual experiences the world around them in their unique way. I aim to help people to find their strengths. Learning from each other, we can develop our understanding of how these varied views can contribute to a diverse and brilliant society.

In this modern world, parents are often isolated and under supported, rather than being 'bad parents'. I aim to support parents to be the "parents they want to be", rather than feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

I also aim to skill up educational and childcare settings to enhance the work they do and their understanding of what children need to be happy. It is our self esteem and happiness that leads to true success in relationships, learning and well-being.
