Amazing Healing Benefits
I’ve always believed that play and creativity are as essential to children’s growth as any core subject. My passion for this led to research on the power of creativity, which I presented at the Keel University International DATA Conference in 2010.
Creativity offers a gentle, compassionate way to access the subconscious, helping to process unspoken emotions and build inner calm and resilience.
As a Trainee Play Therapist, I work one-to-one with children and young people, offering a safe, creative space for healing and growth.
My dedication to you
At Creatively Mindful, I take a holistic approach that nurtures emotional, mental, and creative well-being. I offer a calm, inclusive space where children, young people, and families can explore emotions, build resilience, and grow in confidence. My aim is to support the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, with compassion and creativity at the heart of all I do.
