Families Growing Together

I am a therapeutic social worker and provide support to children who have experienced adversity in their early lives, and their parents and carers.  I am passionate about the wellbeing of children and families and my aim is to help families to come together to increase bonding, communication and trust, as a way to alleviate difficulties and reduce stress. 

​

I have been a social worker for 25 years and have specialised in working with children who have developmental trauma for the last 10.  I am certified in Theraplay and DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) and have additional training in Sensory Integration, Family Therapy, CBT, and Trauma and the brain.  I live in Manchester and have a therapeutic space which I work from, in South Manchester.

​

I provide packages of support in Theraplay, DDP, and Theraupeutic Parenting Support  to adopted parents, special guardians, foster carers and birth parents.  I work in an integrative way and tailor my support packages around the specific needs of the family.   

 

I also offer Theraplay supervision, Therapeutic Parenting Programmes, and professional training and consultation.
