I have worked with children and families for over 20 years. My expertise is in the area of  SEND and SEMH.  I have had the opportunity to work in many different settings, including schools, therapy centres and working for the Local Authority. I am a Social, emotional, mental health and behaviour specialist. I am also a qualified Play therapist and CBT practitioner. I am proud to add a certified coach to my qualifications, this is a recent achievement. I have huge experience with school aged children, 4-18 years old. I have extensive knowledge of the teenaged brain, I can offer a variety of therapeutic approaches to support teenagers with a wide range of needs. I also take a play approach to helping younger children to manage and have tools to support their emotions. 

I have spent my career supporting families in various settings. I have extensive knowledge and experience with challenging behaviour. My starting point will always be to explore what the behaviour is trying to tell us.
