Kristina (Kizzy) Winstone
Child & Adolescent Therapy Practitioner |
My passion is supporting children and young people to reach their full potential in life. Having spent my career in the early years special education sector I have sound knowledge of child development and neurodiversity. Along with this, I have lived experience, supporting additional needs, both with my sister who has Down Syndrome and my son who has Autism. I am very aware of the challenges that are faced by children and young people in navigating their way through life with added challenges, as well as the challenges and struggles that parents/carers face within the home. |
