With a background in body–mind psychotherapy, EMDR, and creative approaches to therapy, she has supported children, young people, and adults living with trauma, autism, ADHD, anxiety, and related challenges.

Neurodiversity and Connection: 
Supporting Young People Beyond Words

Working with children and young people who experience neurodiverse differences can be deeply rewarding - yet at times complex. For many individuals, words alone aren’t enough to communicate, build trust, or process emotions. This one-day training explores how creative, non-verbal, and body-based approaches can strengthen connection, regulation, and emotional wellbeing.
Whether you’re a parent, carer, educator, or professional, this workshop offers practical ways to understand and support neurodiverse children and young people through creativity, movement, and attuned, embodied presence.
