Hi, I'm Laura

I am a certified Play Therapist based in South West Oxfordshire (Vale of the White Horse). I have worked with children, young people and parents for over ten years, in many different environments.

 

It was when working in the education sector that my interest with linking  emotions and the presented behaviours  in children grew.

 

Holding a passion for supporting children and young people therapeutically took me on my path to become a Play Therapist.

When supporting children and families, I work with a person centered approach, creating a safe space for my clients to explore their emotions, thoughts and feelings.  This further supports the emotional literacy in children and young people so they are more able to navigate their world.

 

I believe families should be given the time and space to grow, allowing them to become the best versions of themselves and reach their full potential.

 

I support parents and carers to use the power of play to strengthen their parent-child relationship, which in turn can reduce emotional and heightened behaviour responses.
