About

Hello! I'm an Educational Psychologist, mum of two, and an Accredited VIG Practitioner, working towards Advanced Practitioner status. I'm passionate about the positive impact VIG can have on families, parents/carers and professionals, especially how it can build people's confidence, and the positive impact it has had on my own practice and parenting too.

I work part time for AVIGuk as the other half of the Events Team (with Ava Carlon) and the other half of the Research Team (with Hilary Kennedy). For AVIGuk work - please message my non-personal account (AVIGuk Events or Research).

This is my personal VIG account - here I'm starting the process of setting up a Social Enterprise - called 'Attuned Into' - where I plan to use VIG and Music with families and professionals.

I'm keen to set up a Community of Practice for using VIG and music - and am partnering with another lovely VIG person - Dr Lydia Stone - to do this! If you'd like to join us - please message me here or email
attunedinto@gmail.com

My background: I've worked in and for Local Authorities for the last 20+ years - as secondary school teacher and then retraining as an Educational Psychologist. My last role was as a Specialist Senior Educational Psychologist for Social, Emotional and Mental Health and Therapeutic Interventions at Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) 2014-2022.

As a parent, psychologist and ex-teacher, I particularly love using this humane and positive intervention with families and staff in early years or school settings, but would love to develop my practice in working with new families. Please contact me on attunedinto@gmail.com regarding freelance work, or odavies@videointeractionguidance.net for my AVIGuk work.
