In my practice as a dramatherapist, I believe in tailoring each session to suit the unique needs and preferences of my clients. Utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a framework. My approach is deeply person-centered, characterized by warmth, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I incorporate various modalities such as play, art, character creation, and storytelling to facilitate exploration and expression. However, I understand that creativity may not be everyone's preferred mode of communication, so there's no pressure to engage in the creative process. Instead, I collaborate with clients to identify the methods that resonate with them, while gently introducing creative tools that I believe could offer additional support and insight along the way. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore, grow, and find their own path to healing. If you are a new parent I am happy for your baby to come with you to sessions until they are able to walk.

For the past two years, I've worked as a Young Persons Therapist at 'The Oasis Project,' where I specialise in working with 16-25 year olds who experience problematic alcohol and substance use. My role involves providing support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions to help young people navigate their challenges and work towards positive change. Additionally I work with young people age 5-18 whos families are effected by alcohol and drug misuse. Many of my clients are neurodiverse and/or have experienced complex childhood trauma. I also co-run a Community Interest Company 'Stone Soup South', we provide low cost creative threaputic parent and baby groups. I have run projects like this for over three years and have a wealth of knowledge connected to the difficulties of becoming a parent. With over ten years of experience working with young people, I have a strong background working with children, young people, and their families who have autism and ADHD. This extensive experience has equipped me with valuable insights and skills to effectively support individuals with diverse needs, facilitating growth, understanding, and empowerment within these communities.
