Send a job offer directly to this candidate
I am a passionate and empathetic Play Therapist with experience supporting children across diverse international settings. Through a person-centred, child-led approach, I provide safe and trusting therapeutic relationships that enable children to express themselves, process difficult experiences and strengthen their emotional regulation, resilience and sense of identity. My training in Play Therapy and Counselling allows me to provide targeted, developmentally appropriate support tailored to each child's individual needs.
Drawing on my previous teaching experience, I understand how emotional wellbeing can influence learning, relationships and engagement in school. I collaborate effectively with children, families, colleagues and external professionals, combining cultural sensitivity, professional initiative and strong communication skills to provide holistic therapeutic support.
