A Gentle, Child‑Honouring Way of Support
Play‑based, relationship‑centred support for children and the adults around them
Rather than directing or correcting, this approach follows the child's natural interests and rhythms. It uses play, creativity, imagination, and movement as communication. It respects emotional and sensory differences and creates safety before expecting growth.
Follows the child's lead
Children guide the pace and direction through their natural play and interests
Uses play as language
Play, creativity, imagination, and movement become the primary forms of communication
Respects differences
Honours emotional and sensory differences without trying to fix or change them
Creates safety first
Builds emotional and relational safety before expecting any kind of growth or change
How I Work With Children and Families
I work with families and educators who want to support children's nervous systems, not just manage their behaviour. Sessions are grounded in connection, attunement, and respect for the child's pace and preferences.
Play therapy that follows what the child is drawn to (not what adults think they need)
Creative and expressive activities — art, storytelling, music, movement, sand, nature
Sensory regulation support and gentle body awareness
Parent consultation and family sessions to strengthen connection and understanding
Caregiver support — because when you feel steady, the child feels safer
A Different Way of Supporting Sensitive Children
This work is informed by neurodivergent‑affirming practice and grounded in respect for how children naturally think, feel, and move through the world.
No forced eye contact, compliance, or performance
I do not require children to look at me, sit still, answer questions, or mask who they are
No reward charts or behaviour management systems
Connection is the goal, not compliance
No pathologising or fixing
I do not see children as problems to solve. I see them as people with needs, preferences, and inner worlds worth protecting
If this resonates, you are in the right place.
