How I work

Nancy draws on a range of evidence-based frameworks, always adapting her approach to what serves each individual best.

🌱

Trauma-Informed & Strengths-Based

Safety and trust first — always. Building from your existing resilience while understanding how past experiences shape the present.

🎨

Play Therapy & Creative Modalities

For children especially, play and creative expression are the most natural languages. Nancy's arts background enriches every expressive and play-based technique.

💡

Solution-Focused Therapy

A forward-looking approach centred on your goals and what's already working.

🔬

Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice

Working with ASD, ADHD, giftedness, and PDA through a lens of affirmation — not pathology.

👨‍👩‍👦

Family Systems Counselling

Exploring how family dynamics shape individual experience, and how change in one part of a family ripples through the whole.

🌏

Culturally Responsive Practice

Honouring every client's cultural background, language, and lived experience. Nancy has extensive experience with multilingual and diverse families.

🤝

Repairing relationships and rebuilding connection through structured, compassionate dialogue.
