I offer play therapy to children aged 4 through 11. Play therapy is a form of counselling that uses PLAY to communicate with and help children to work through various difficulties they may be facing in a non-threatening manner.

I love children, their fascination with all things great and small, their awe for the world around them, their innate need to learn, their spontaneity and their amazing ability to see the magic in world around them. I am passionate about helping children who have faced various struggles and I have a heart to help them heal and develop greater resilience in facing life’s challenges.

I have completed a BA (Hons) Psychology with Cum Laude and the Advanced Pl Play Therapy Workshops with Dr Rhina Blom (Red Shoe Centre)

​I have worked in the counselling field for the past 10 years and the play therapy field for the past 3 years, including setting up and leading a community-based Emotional Health Centre for a local NPO which offered individual counselling to adults, play therapy to children, trauma group therapy, art therapy as well as various life skills and character development workshops such as HeartLife. We partnered with various organisations such as SACAP, CASE, ChildLine, The Warehouse and Safeline to provide these services to the community.

Play therapy is helpful for children facing a variety of challenges, such as:

    •        Challenges at school (e.g. bullying, separation issues etc.)
    • Depression/Anxiety
    • Parental conflict (Divorce/Separation)
    • Trauma/Grief/Loss
    • Personal/Family illness
    • Impulse control & ADD/ADHD
    • Social withdrawal
    • Anger management

Play therapy aims to develop a RELATIONSHIP between the child and the therapist. This relationship is crucial to the play therapy process. The therapist enters the child’s world; follows the child’s lead and aims to create a safe space and build a relationship of trust. The role of the therapist is to assist the child through this process.

Play therapy provides a way for a child to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. As a child’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important means for them to know and accept themselves and others.
