I am a Behaviour Consultant, Life Coach and Creative Therapist with a variety of skills, knowledge and experiences that allow me to create bespoke therapy for each unique individual that I support. My experience comes from but are not restricted to helping those with Developmental Trauma, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Sensory Processing Disorder, Divorce, S

eparation, Abandonment, Autism, ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Fear and Grief. Throughout my twenty-year career, most recently including six years with a charity for the victims of Domestic Abuse, I have seen first-hand the impact that such trauma can have on the individuals involved. Working on a one-to-one basis with these individuals, I supported them as they came to terms with their experiences and empowered them to take back the control they felt they had lost. I have worked with children and young people who, following different forms of abuse and trauma, exhibited challenging behaviours; considered or inflicted self-harm; contemplated or attempted su***de; suffered from eating disorders; demonstrated uncontrolled anger; developed selective mutism. The techniques I employ to work through these traumas are not limited to talking, but include play therapy, art therapy, puppet work, sand and playdough work, reframing thoughts, emotional regulation, basic neuroscience, mindfulness, empowerment and coaching. My methods are non-judgemental, open, honest, patient, empathic and create a trusting relationship through active listening in a safe, confidential environment. I am qualified to work with individuals from infancy to adulthood and I understand that a secure attachment can be achieved when dangers are acknowledged and rectified. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals, parents, children and families including those with special needs and I hold qualifications in the Makaton signing style of communication.”

Good Morning,

It is with a heavy heart, I am going to have to cancel Sound Explorers, due to low numbers not covering outgoings. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

I will hopefully be back in the February half term so keep a look out as I'll do a SEN only session then as well.

Until then take care.

Hello lovelies,

October has to be my favourite month of the year, for many reasons. The change in trees, shedding leaves, ready for re-birthing in the spring. The colours, warm clothes, pumpkins, muddy puddles and Halloween!

This half term, Sound Explorers will be slightly different.

The Pip Explorers session is going to be a SEN only group.
Core Explorers will be the same as usual, so both sessions are low stimulation and set at children's own pace.

For those of you new to Sound Explorers, it is a mix of sensory play, music and movement on a soundboard and quiet reflective time.

Hope you can join us 😊

Had such a brilliant time at Emmiefest yesterday. I met a lot of lovely people. Water beads were a massive hit and even Rubble from Paw Patrol did some colour 🥰

Right now to get organised for the Halloween sensory sessions on Thursday 27th October, more details to follow 😀 ❤🍎

The symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can have a significant impact on your daily life - mentally, emotionally and physically.

A diagnosis of Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) includes the same symptoms of PTSD, but also has 3 additional categories of symptoms: difficulties with emotional regulation, an impaired sense of self-worth, and interpersonal problems such as:

- constant issues with keeping a relationship,
- finding it difficult to feel connected to other people,
- constant belief that you are worthless with deep feelings of shame and guilt
- constant and severe emotional dysregulation (you find it difficult to control your emotions).

PTSD and C-PTSD symptoms can vary in intensity over time and can include these and many physical symptoms too. Some people learn to ‘manage’ their symptoms and so have long periods when their symptoms are less noticeable, followed by periods where they get worse. Other people have constant severe symptoms, or you may only have symptoms when you’re stressed in general, or when you run into reminders of what you went through.

Find out more about the symptoms and the treatments available on our website: ptsduk.org/what-is-ptsd/symptoms-of-ptsd/
