I am a Registered Play and Creative Arts Therapist with Play Therapy UK (PTUK) and Play Therapy International (PTI). My work is grounded in the belief that every child has the capacity to heal and grow when they are understood, accepted, and given the right space to express themselves.

Before qualifying as a therapist, I worked for many years as an international school teacher in Switzerland, specialising in individual learning needs and working within the Reggio Emilia approach. I am also an Autistic Spectrum specialist and a Forest School teacher, which has deeply influenced how I use nature, creativity, and play to support emotional wellbeing.

I am Irish and have lived in Switzerland for over sixteen years, where we have raised our two boys. I understand what it feels like to move to a new country, to start again without family nearby, and to adapt to different languages and cultures. These experiences help me connect with children and families who are adjusting to new environments or facing big changes in their lives.

Outside of my work, I love being outdoors — walking by the lake, spending time with my family, friends and our dogs, and finding calm and inspiration in nature.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in creating a warm, safe space where children can be themselves, explore freely, and rediscover their confidence through play.

As a PTUK/PTI-Registered Play and Creative Arts Therapist I receive ongoing clinical supervision, maintain professional insurance, and undertake continuing professional development (CPD) to uphold the highest standards of care
