Anne Casimir
Educational Psychotherapist Anne Casimir works with children experiencing difficulties or emotional distress. Using play, drawing, and creative story work, Anne builds supportive relationships with the children; she helps them express themselves and make progress in their ability to learn and participate at school, and improve their emotional wellbeing.
