About Dalia
Helping children feel understood through play and connection
My approach is warm, nurturing, and led by the child - creating a space where they can safely express themselves and grow.
Experience & Approach
In both therapeutic and social work roles, I have worked with children, adults and families affected by mental health difficulties, trauma, illness, ADHD and social or economic adversity.
My work is also enriched by my background as a children’s entertainer, where I developed a deep connection to children’s natural sense of wonder and joy. In addition, I have experience teaching carer and baby or toddler multi-sensory classes, which has given me the opportunity to engage meaningfully with parents, carers, and children of all ages.
About me
I am passionate about working with children and truly enjoy connecting with their naturally playful, curious way of engaging with the world. I hold a Master’s degree in Play Therapy and am a registered member of the British Association of Play Therapists.
For the past five years, I have worked as a play therapist in schools, supporting children with a wide range of emotional, behavioural and social challenges. I also hold a Master’s degree in Social Work, and have several years of experience working as a social worker in both the UK and Australia.
