Hello
My name is Monique, I am passionate about nurturing social and emotional development in children. My mission is to empower each child to reach their full potential through evidence-based practices that enhance emotional intelligence and strengthen relationships. I am a dedicated child advocate with over two decades of experience. My journey with diverse young minds began in 2001 as a teaching assistant, igniting a passion that continues to drive my professional development today. My experience working with children has equipped me with great insights into how they learn, develop, and overcome challenges.
Throughout my professional growth journey, I've specialised in supporting children with unique learning needs. I have a background in Early Childhood Education and postgraduate qualifications in Special Education and Play Therapy. I'm currently pursuing a Master in Counselling.
To each therapeutic relationship, I bring a distinctive blend of specialised training and cross-cultural experience. My approach centres on creating safe, responsive environments where children explore how their language empowers them. I guide their development using evidence-based practices, always grounded in genuine compassion for their wellbeing.
