Why ShawSpark Psychotherapy?
Because navigating life's challenges without the right support can feel like the loneliest and most overwhelming experience on earth.
We offer a range of Psycho-therapeutic Services tailored to the need of the individual. We aim to increase the mental health and well being of all we have the pleasure of working with, whether you're a child, young person, parent, carer, school or organisation that would like to look after their staff well.
Utilising Amazing Resources
We stay up to date with the best resources and utilise research to enhance your experience.
Encouraging Creativity
Sometimes words fail to communicate the depth of emotion that come from difficult life experiences.
We encourage creativity and playfulness to communicate what words often cannot.
We use 7 mediums to facilitate therapy sessions; Art, sand, movement & Bodywork, Puppetry, Drama, Clay and Music.
Filling You Up
We have many creative interventions that aim to meet the needs of all our incredible service users. You are at the heart of everything we do and we aim to use our hearts to fill yours!
About Me
I am a counselor and child psychotherapist. I am an accredited member of UKCP and BACP with qualifications MA Integrative Child Psychotherapy. PGCE in Therapeutic Arts and BSc Pscyhology, Counselling and Therapies (Hons).
I have worked in the public sector with vulnerable children, young people and families for over a decade. I was a foster carer and have lots of experience working in schools, NHS and Social services. I am caring, consistent and non judgmental. I'm an innovative problem solver so I love enriching people's lives through creatively. I'm also a proud mum of three so a lot of my passion projects involve creating safe and uplifting communities for mothers.
As a mental health professional, I have worked with both adults, children, parents and carers to promote better outcomes for families. The majority of my work has been with looked after and adopted children and has often involved working with complex developmental trauma.
I am passionate about working with families as well as the networks supporting them. It's my deepest desire that relief would be found by all those who engage with ShawSpark Psychotherapy services.
