My Philosophy

The chambered nautilus underpins my therapeutic philosophy and guides my practice.

I feel we can learn a lot from the nautilus (pictured here). The nautilus lives in a beautiful spiraled shell divided into many chambers. As it grows, it moves into the next largest space in the shell and builds a wall to seal off the old chamber. However, the nautilus still needs the old sections, as it uses them to move. Filling the chambers with either gas or water so that it can dive or float according to its needs.

From the moment we are born and begin to crawl, we continuously discover, learn and outgrow our previous thoughts and views of the world. Play therapy can support your child on this healing journey, integrating the past and moving forward into growth and self-discovery.
