Children & Young People

All of my therapies can be delivered in house, in schools and other settings.

Children & Young People

I have over 25 years of experience supporting children and young people across a variety of settings, including both primary and secondary schools. My work has often focused on those with additional needs, and I have specialist training in supporting individuals with Autism, ADHD, visual impairments, and physical disabilities.

Alongside this, I have planned and delivered therapeutic interventions and worked collaboratively with a wide range of professionals and agencies to ensure children and young people receive the care and support they need.

I provide a safe and creative space where children and young people can explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and build confidence. Using gentle approaches like Drawing and Talking Therapy, sand play, and creative activities, I support them through challenges such as anxiety, trauma, family changes, and emotional or learning difficulties.

I can highly recommend Anita. She gave great support to my daughter in helping her to understand and cope with her severe anxiety. She was also very supportive of us as parents and identified underlying issues that have given us a clear direction forward. Very easy to talk to and a great listener.

Anita has supported many children in our school with their emerging and wide-ranging social, emotional and mental health needs. She is experienced and well respected in her work. Anita is able to draw upon many approaches, such as talking and drawing therapy, lego therapy and laughter yoga. This support has been invaluable to the children and their families. She has really made a difference and is highly recommended as a practitioner.

Headteacher

I have used Anita on occasions for my child’s drawing and talking sessions, Anita has always been very professional, kind, and a breath of fresh air. My child has made excellent progress from these sessions. I would 100% recommend Anita and the drawing and talking to anyone who would like their child to have sessions that may not feel talking is the easiest option.
