Hello

I'm Tessa a Certified Play Therapy UK (PTUK) Play Therapist. 

I love being a Play Therapist and feel privileged to be able to work with children and their families/carers in this way.  In 2020 I was diagnosed with adult ADHD and I feel my neurodiverse brain plus my experience of growing up knowing I was different helps me to understand certain situations and responses.  This plus the fact I had 3 children within 2 years and 9 months helps me to offer a level of understanding and empathy whilst being non-judgmental. 

 

I try to spend about 1.5 hours a day walking my dog which helps to release any tension, on 3 of these days (or when I need it) I include a 25 minute run which helps me reset mentally.  I also love yoga and try to incorporate this into my weekly routine, this helps me to be present.  I also attend regular clinical supervision.

 

As I am a PTUK Play Therapist I adhere to their Ethical Framework and safeguarding guidance. I hold Professional Liability Insurance, am registered with the Information Commisioner’s Office and am DBS checked.
