I work closely with parents, carers and SENCOs to identify children who need extra emotional support.
This may include those experiencing:

- academic pressure
- trauma
- children affected by a loss of any kind
- bereavement
- a change in life circumstances like divorce, separation, moving schools or country
- A new diagnosis

A member of plastic-free Caversham, I am always trying to consider ways to reduce my impact on the environment by walking to appointments wherever possible, reducing printing, using recycled paper and recycled pencils and a no-lamination policy!
