About Me
Hi
I am Jacqui Shankly, and I have worked for over 25 years supporting families with young children. I began working in early years for the charity sector - and thus began a lifetime of interest and research into early childhood development and attachment, culminating in training as a Play Therapist and founding Moonbeams CIC, an organisation dedicated to promoting positive childhood mental health through direct work with children, and supporting the adults around them.
My passion and joy is working with families. Parents are their child’s first and most enduring teacher, and the family dynamic forms the basis of a child’s future view of the world. Parenting is one of the most demanding jobs in the world, and everyone needs support from time to time.
My approach is playful, non-judgemental and supportive.
