A Journey of Discovery Through Play
My path into play therapy grew from many years of working with young children. I have over 20 years’ experience, including roles as a class teacher, a nursery nurse, and working within nurture and play support groups in schools. Throughout this time, I saw how children often communicate their feelings through play rather than words. My decision to train as a play therapist became more personal when my own child experienced anxiety, and I saw first-hand the positive impact of play-based support.
I have since completed over 200 clinical hours of training, including trauma-informed practice, and am a registered member of PTUK. Today, I offer play therapy through my private practice in Bath and Frome, as well as working within schools across the local area. I provide a safe and supportive space where children can explore their emotions, find their voice, and build resilience.
