With a range of formal training and experience, our practice is permeated with the PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, empathy) approach (Dan Hughes), within the relevant professional and safeguarding frameworks. We are dedicated to using our intuitive, empathic abilities to see and understand experiences and relationships from both child and parent / adult perspectives, supporting positive change in relation to emotional, social and developmental needs. In addition, we have a particular interest in neurobiology and the impact of trauma, abuse and insecure attachment on brain development, sensory needs and relationships.
