About Nadine

Hi, I'm Nadine, one of the counselling managers at Spurgeons supporting with the webinar. I have a diploma in children's counselling, a first class honours degree in integrative counselling, an MA in early years and childhood studies and I am currently doing a PhD studying autism and trauma at Kings College London. 

I have worked as a children's counsellor in primary schools, secondary schools and a women's refuge and now work with Spurgeons. I work in an integrative way to ensure all children get the counselling that is right for them. This included exposure therapy for children that struggle to attend school and sensory profiling for neurodiverse children. 

I am passionate in my work as a children's counsellor and strive to work in the best way for each child.
