Helen qualified as a Play Therapist in 1997 having  previously worked in residential care.  She has additional training in Filial Therapy, Clinical Supervision, Child & Parent Relationship Therapy and is currently undertaking Child Play & Attachment Assessment training.

Helen's particular interest is in robust assessment of children's needs.  She recognises that parents, carers and professionals surrounding children can feel frustrated, worried and "at sea" when children are distressed.  Building a comprehensive understanding of what underlies that distress can make all the difference to adults, helping them to know how to help effectively.
