Bio
I am the author of children’s books: 'Help! I've Got an Alarm Bell Going Off in my Head!' and 'Help! My Feelings are Too Big!' I specialise in working with children and teens and the commonest issue is ANXIETY. Sometimes this appears in disguise, as anger, illness or other distressing symptoms. I also work with HSPs (highly sensitive people). This is not a disorder but a trait affecting 20% of the population. As an experienced Person-Centred counsellor with Senior Accreditation, I offer warmth, safety, respect and sensitivity. As well as talking therapy, I offer creative approaches: art, sand tray, drama/movement, play or creative writing. Since 1998 I have worked in many settings, including education, psychiatry, hospice, and private practice (Creative Counselling). Creative Counselling offers individual therapy, clinical supervision, workshops, retreats and creative group-work. I teach the creativity module for BSc student counsellors at East Sussex College.
