BiogI qualified as a play therapist in 1993 and as a counsellor in 1996. I initially worked for the NSPCC as a therapist in a child protection team and then in a post sexual abuse therapeutic team whilst also teaching children's counselling to adults in further education. I then moved to work for an independent fostering agency as a therapist with looked after children and their carers. I currently work 2.5 days per week as a psychotherapist in a perinatal psychiatry team within the NHS, 1 day per week for an independent fostering agency and one day per week in private practice as an independent play therapist
