I qualified as a Forest School Leader in 2006, and I am celebrating 20 years of working outdoors with children this year.  In 2020 I became a Recognised provider of forest school with the Forest School Association. 

​

In 2024 I completed a 3 year partnership with the Institute of Mental Health at Nottingham University.  They supported the evaluation of the impact on mental health of my Forest School sessions on students with Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.  This is my particular area of interest and specialism.

​

In 2026 I competed a Postgraduate Certificate in Therapeutic Play with Play Therapy UK (PTUK).  I am currently completing my training as a Play Therapy.
