About
INNER WORLDS Therapy
I’m a play therapist with over 10 years’ experience working in schools and with families.
What matters most to me isn’t just what a child is doing, but why.
I take a humanistic, person-centred approach, which means:
Over time, my work has naturally expanded to supporting parents and school staff too. Because children don’t exist in isolation, and when the adults around them feel more confident and supported, everything begins to shift.
I advocate for conscious, connected parenting. Not perfection, just awareness, reflection, and repair.
I integrate mentalization-based thinking into my work, supporting parents to better understand both their child’s inner world and their own responses.
Starting therapy
Taking the first step can feel daunting. I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to give you the opportunity to tell me a little about your child, ask any questions, and explore whether play therapy feels like the right fit for your family. There is no obligation to continue.
For children
Sessions are based around play. This might include drawing, storytelling, imaginative play, or simply being.
There is no pressure to talk or perform. I follow the child’s pace.
Over time, therapy can support children to:
Feel more emotionally settled
Understand their feelings
Express themselves more safely
Feel more secure in relationships

For parents
Parent work is a space to slow things down and make sense of what is happening at home.
We might explore:
What behaviour might be communicating
Emotional patterns in the family
Your responses and what shapes them
Ways to strengthen connection
There is no expectation of perfection, only understanding.

Working together
I may work with children, parents, or both depending on need. I also liaise with schools where appropriate.
The aim is always the same: understanding what is going on underneath, so things can shift from the inside out.
If you’re unsure
It’s completely okay to feel unsure. You don’t need to have it all figured out — just a starting point.
