I’m Nissa, a clinical child psychologist with 15 years of experience supporting children, teens, and their families. My career spans roles as both a school counselor and clinical psychologist, giving me a unique insight into the many stages of childhood and the different joys and challenges each stage can bring.
I work with children of all ages, from early years through the teenage years, and also provide support to parents. I’m a certified filial play coach, trained by Play Therapy UK, specializing in creating secure, joyful connections between parents and children through playful interactions.
My goal is to partner with parents, children, and teenagers to help create healthy, resilient family dynamics through therapeutic relationships and play. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together to support your child’s growth and well-being.
