Audrey HannahSenior Therapist
As a UKCP Senior Therapist, trainer and supervisor, I have worked for A Quiet Place for over fifteen years now, both directly with children and as a supervisor. More recently I have been involved in training and the development of new products such as The Magic Carpet.

I supervise and train the new Facilitators who deliver our programmes on a one to one basis. Recently I have been part of the delivery and development of our latest programme Theta group which has been effective in maintaining children in mainstream who otherwise may have been excluded see research and article.

I love working with the children and families and listening to the parents finally feeling there is some change with the children and often the whole family.

I am an Associate of A Quiet Place offering consultancy, training and supervision. My professional background is in teaching within the Primary, Secondary and Higher Education sectors.

My early specialism in Special Educational Needs developed to include my further study in psychology and emotional well-being. This became my focus in Continuing Professional Development with teachers. My commitment to holistic education has been a vital strand to my career.

Joan TaylorData and Documentation, Monitoring and Evaluation BEd, ACE(Autism)
Over twenty years teaching pupils with special needs, particularly ASD, showed the need for reduction of stress/anxiety before learning can take place. As a senior manager in school, I appreciate the need for accurate data to support the investment schools make in A Quiet Place and hopefully contribute to this.
