She is currently working at the mother and baby unit in Bethlem Royal Hospital and in a SEND school as a student dramatherapist and has previously facilitated group and individual sessions for pre-teens and teens. Her approach is process driven and she is extremely passionate about further exploring creative development and how that plays a role in the social, emotional and mental development of a child.
