I value the expressive capacity that we get from  connecting using a mixture of virtual, and augmented  reality, online art, games, images, animation, characters, stories and music and the ability for children and young people to connect  in ways that are meaningful and culturally relevant.  In my practice, our aim is to learn more about ourselves and find safe, playful ways online to express our feelings.   

​

Sometimes, children and young people use unhealthy ways to express a range of emotions.  Behaviours like anger, anger,  anxiety, depression, sensory needs, attachment needs are sometimes their way of bringing our attention to developmental needs, adverse experiences, trauma, bereavement, loss, and many ways of dealing with life when it feels overwhelming.  

​

I actively support and promote equality and diversity and accessibility in therapy.  By working online I can reduce the time and cost of commuting and provide better value for clients and commissioners.  I value my role in caring for our environment and I actively provide a variety of session times to meet the needs of working families.  ​​
