Working with children
Working with children has been a central focus of my career, giving me a deep understanding of their unique needs and challenges. My seven years teaching at an international junior school in London and running my own swim school for the following decade allowed me to connect with children from diverse backgrounds, fostering their confidence, resilience, and ability to thrive.
I believe children learn best when fully engaged and having fun. To make therapy enjoyable and effective, I use interactive tools such as magic tricks, stories, biofeedback, and even a laser gun to demonstrate the power of focus and the mind’s ability to adapt.
Children can feel isolated, invisible, or unsafe, which may show up as anger, sadness, or withdrawal. Over time, these feelings can lead to OCD, self-harm, or other less adaptive coping strategies. I work to empower children with the understanding and tools they need to process their emotions, feel safe, and reconnect with the world around them.
