Improving the well-being of children through creative arts and therapeutic play
ABOUT me
Hello, I am Angela ,
I have recently qualified as a creative arts and play therapist, an exciting but natural career change given my background.
As a primary school teacher and mother to four young adults I have become increasingly drawn to working therapeutically with children helping them build strategies and resilience improving their mental well being in response to demanding events. I aim to work with parents and teachers too to strengthen relationships between children and their adults.
Who can it help?

Low self-confidence
