I am a qualified and registered Occupational Therapist with many years experience working in both physical and mental health. I have experience working in Children's and Adolescent's Mental Health Services (CAMHS). I provide therapy to children using a range of counselling techniques including 'play', active listening and structured activities. I am a qualified sensory integration therapist and am therefore able to assess and provide therapy for sensory processing difficulties.
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and have DBS clearance to enhanced level.
I am a trained facilitator in running a parenting programme for both children and teenagers. It uses emotionally intelligent parenting; the course is called 'Tuning into Kids'. Emotional intelligence is about using your emotions to guide you through the world.
I work in schools counselling students; helping them with their emotional and mental health. I support and provide clinical supervision for teachers, teaching assistants and PFSAs. Helping to enable the school to be a more nurturing place therefore increasing their academic success. I can also provide training for staff as required.
I run clinics from my dedicated space in Long Load (near Martock) and I offer a combination of face to face and video call appointments.
