I’ve worked in the field of early childhood education for decades and have a wide range of experiences caring for children, teacher training and play therapy roles. I’ve played a key role in leading further and higher education programmes in Psychology, Health and Early Years, including early years vocational programmes. My subject specialisms are early years, child psychology, and quality emotional care education.

 

I also have professional experience working in health and social service contexts, as well as opening and managing a successful daycare nursery for children from birth to four-years-old. I’m a specialised and trained practising psychologist, educational assessor, therapeutic play specialist, international student instructor of infant massage with IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) and a hypnotherapist with a Professional Diploma (Level 5) in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice. 

​

I’m passionate about helping others through all stages of life through collecting and sharing voices and experiences, as well as the practical application of creative, person-centred approaches in workshops, courses and therapy sessions. I have four children, including twins, and live by the sea with my husband and our two dogs.
