Play and Creative Arts therapy is not just for children!

When words alone are not enough, we sometimes need different ways to process and express our feelings. You can choose to talk or do more creative activities (even if you don't think you are the creative arty type). Play therapy offers a powerful medium for working with adults with complex trauma because play addresses areas of social, emotional, and cognitive development compromised from chronic interpersonal trauma exposure.

My special interest is working with Trauma and Attachment issues. Unbeknown to us, many of the challenges we face as adults stem from trauma or attachment issues we experienced in our childhood. This can shape how we behave, make decisions and relate to others.

I have worked with children and parents for over 15 years, first as an educator and now as an accredited Play Therapist and parenting coach. I’m passionate about attachment, connection, play, creativity, and stories as part of a healthy being.

Whether children or adults, we all need someone we can talk to or be with who is nonjudgmental, reflective, and honest. Someone who makes you feel safe enough to talk and safe enough to make the changes you need.

Going to therapy or even considering one can feel momentous and many people may feel nervous, worried or shy. This is ok. Rest assured that your session will be safe and confidential. I may not be your best buddy, but I will be your strongest ally. I will help you see through your difficult moments, help you process what may appear uncomfortable and challenging, and help you find clarity and plan for the days ahead.

I am a registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ) and PTUK (Play Therapy UK), adhering to their codes of ethics and practice. 

I see clients in Beeston, Nottingham. Easy and free parking nearby.

I also offer clients online sessions, via Zoom or GoogleMeet video calls. Don't worry if you've never used this before or don't know how it works - I can send you full instructions or even talk you through it over the phone. Once we have it set up it will mean that we can talk to each other and see each other, which makes the experience as close to a face to face session as possible.

I offer sessions in English and Indonesian.

I also offer Supervision sessions. This is offered in line with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and/or PTUK guidelines. I offer concession fees for students / trainee counsellors.

There is no obligation for further sessions, but ongoing sessions can be discussed and booked in the session if we both feel comfortable and wish to continue working together. 

Currently I offer supervision via online platforms (Zoom or Googlemeet).  F2F sessions can be arranged if needed. 

I am an experienced psychotherapist with speciality in play and creative arts therapy who values ethical, compassionate and culture-sensitive practice.

As a practitioner who has worked in Asia and UK, and being involved in diverse communities throughout, I practice holistic and reflective approaches. My work with clients include trauma (specifically, attachment, domestic and sexual violence), relationships, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and loss.

I work with practitioners from all backgrounds and offer supervision, support & guidance to counsellors, student counsellors and those in the helping professions. I would like to support you in your chosen model of counselling and psychotherapy to be the best practitioner you can be.

I offer clinical supervision via online platform (via Zoom or Googlemeet) for now. I utilise a creative integrative supervision approach to supervise, mentor and coach supervisees. I’m interested the relationships, the therapeutic alliance of shared responsibilities, and having shared goals. My supervision aim to enhance the quality and standards of your practice, to advance your learning, stimulate creativity, and support the sustainability and resilience of the practitioner.

Please contact me to arrange an informal phone call to discuss your supervision needs and to ask any questions.

Please note that I always reply to messages. Please check your spam folder if you have not received a response within 24 hours or the next working day after the weekend.

You are welcome to come and meet me or have an online meeting to discuss supervision. I offer a free initial 30 minutes session.  If this feels right for you and your client group, we proceed on looking at our supervision contract which will be reviewed every 6 months.

I prefer to work with supervisees on a long term basis and I will always encourage you to take time to find the right supervisor for you.
