Every child has their own unique way of understanding and expressing their inner world. Through play, creativity, imagination and conversation, I offer a safe therapeutic space where children and adolescents can explore emotions, strengthen resilience, build healthier relationships and reconnect with their strengths.

Who can benefit?

Creative Therapy can support children and adolescents experiencing:

• Anxiety, fears, low self-esteem or emotional overwhelm

• Anger, behavioural or social difficulties

• Grief, trauma or significant life transitions

• Family changes, divorce or relocation

• Neurodiversity, including Autism and ADHD

• Difficulties adapting to school, friendships or a new country

Why a creative approach?

Children naturally communicate through play long before they can fully express themselves with words. Creativity becomes a gentle bridge between emotions and understanding, allowing them to explore experiences, develop new coping strategies and create meaningful pathways towards growth.

For adolescents, creativity offers a different language—one that supports self-expression, identity development and emotional regulation in a way that feels engaging and authentic.

How do I work?

Every therapeutic journey is unique. Depending on the child's age, interests and needs, sessions may integrate Play Therapy, Dramatherapy, storytelling, metaphor, role-play, sand tray, creative expression, movement, sensory experiences, mindfulness and conversation.

Supporting Expat Families

Moving to a new country can be exciting, but it also brings loss, uncertainty and change. Children may not always have the words to express these experiences. Through creativity and play, therapy offers a safe space to process emotions, strengthen their sense of identity and belonging, and gradually feel at home both within themselves and in their new environment.

I believe every child deserves a safe space to express, explore and grow.

Parenting is one of life's most meaningful and challenging journeys. Every child is unique, and every family develops its own patterns of relating. My role is not to judge or provide ready-made solutions, but to help you better understand your child's emotional world, strengthen your relationship and discover creative, practical ways of navigating everyday challenges.

When might parenting support be helpful?

Whether you are preparing to welcome a baby, navigating everyday parenting questions or facing more complex challenges, parenting consultations offer a space to pause, reflect and grow together.

Parents often seek support when:

• They want to better understand their child's emotions, needs and behaviours.

• They would like to strengthen connection and improve communication.

• Family life feels overwhelmed by conflict, tantrums or emotional struggles.

• Their child is experiencing anxiety, ADHD, autism, emotional or behavioural difficulties, or major life transitions such as divorce, grief or relocation.

• They are looking for a more connected, encouraging and relationship-based approach to parenting.

What can you expect?

Together we will explore:

• Your child's emotional, social and developmental needs.

• Family interaction patterns and opportunities for growth.

• Attachment, emotional regulation and healthy brain development.

• Practical and creative ways to strengthen connection through everyday interactions and play.

• Your own strengths as a parent while developing greater confidence, self-compassion and flexibility.

I believe that children thrive when they feel safe, understood and connected. Parenting is not about perfection—it is about building a relationship where both parent and child can continue to learn, repair, grow and flourish together.

"You will teach them to fly, but they will not fly your flight... Nevertheless, in every flight, every life and every dream, the imprint of the way you taught them will remain." — often attributed to Mother Teresa

The parent-child relationship is one of the most powerful resources for a child's emotional wellbeing. Creative Family Therapy offers a warm and playful space where families can strengthen connection, improve communication and discover healthier ways of relating to one another.

Rather than focusing only on behaviours, we explore what lies beneath them—emotions, needs and patterns of interaction—creating opportunities for understanding, repair and growth.

When can family therapy help?

Family sessions can be particularly helpful when:

• Communication has become difficult or conflictual.

• Families experience frequent power struggles or emotional disconnection.

• A child struggles with emotional, behavioural or social challenges.

• Parents would like to strengthen attachment and build a more secure relationship.

• The family is navigating major life transitions such as divorce, grief or relocation.

What can you expect?

Sessions are experiential, playful and relationship-focused. Together, parents and children engage in carefully chosen activities that foster trust, cooperation, emotional regulation and joyful connection.

Drawing from Theraplay®, attachment theory, Play Therapy and Dramatherapy, I adapt each session to the family's unique strengths and needs. Activities may include playful interaction, movement, storytelling, sensory experiences and creative challenges that encourage communication, confidence and secure relationships.

I believe that meaningful change begins within relationships. When children experience safety, joy and connection with the people who matter most, they naturally become more confident, resilient and emotionally secure.

Creativity has a unique way of bringing people together.

Whether for children, adolescents or adults, Creative Workshops offer a playful and supportive space where people can explore, express themselves and grow alongside others. Through shared creative experiences, participants discover not only their own strengths but also the joy of belonging, connecting and learning together.

As an expat myself, I understand how important it is to find places where we feel welcomed, accepted and at home. Groups have the power to create that sense of togetherness, reminding us that we are not alone in our experiences.

What can you expect?

Each workshop is experiential, interactive and adapted to the needs of the group. Drawing from Play Therapy, Dramatherapy and Creative Psychology, workshops may include storytelling, improvisation, role-play, movement, creative expression, mindfulness and playful group activities.

Life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or uncertain about the next step. Creative Therapy offers a safe and reflective space where you can slow down, explore your inner world and reconnect with your strengths.

Together, we will make sense of your experiences, discover new perspectives and create meaningful pathways towards greater wellbeing, authenticity and more fulfilling relationships.

Creative Therapy may be helpful when you are experiencing:

• Anxiety, stress or emotional overwhelm

• Low self-esteem or self-criticism

• Relationship or family difficulties

• Life transitions, grief or loss

• Burnout, perfectionism or feeling stuck

• A desire for greater self-awareness and personal growth

What can you expect?

Every therapeutic journey is unique. Depending on your needs and preferences, sessions may integrate conversation with experiential and creative approaches such as metaphor, imagery, storytelling, movement, role-play and other reflective techniques.

Creativity is not about artistic ability. It is about discovering new ways of understanding yourself, expressing emotions and creating lasting change.

I believe that growth begins when we feel safe enough to explore, courageous enough to try new possibilities and connected enough to become more fully ourselves.

Schools are more than places of learning—they are communities where children develop emotionally, socially and academically. Supporting a child often means supporting the adults who guide them every day.

I collaborate with schools, educational teams and parents to better understand children's emotional and developmental needs while creating environments where they can thrive.

How can I support schools?

• Teacher consultations

• Classroom observations

• Parent consultations

• Workshops for teachers

• Social-emotional learning programmes

• Support for neurodivergent learners

• Behaviour understanding and intervention planning

• Emotional wellbeing initiatives

• Collaboration between school and family

Workshops may include

• Understanding children's emotional development

• Attachment in the classroom

• Autism and ADHD from a relational perspective

• Emotional regulation

• Playful learning

• Supporting expat families

• Building resilient classrooms

• Teacher wellbeing

I believe that when we support the adults around a child, we also support the child. Schools become places where curiosity, connection and learning can flourish together.
