A journey from play and creativity to hope and identity
Jacaranda Therapy was established by Liz Brown-Vilela, driven by her genuine passion for supporting individuals as they face life's challenges. The Jacaranda tree, a powerful symbol of hope and resilience, beautifully represents the journey of growth particularly during difficult times.
Meet Liz
Liz Vilela is an accredited Level 7 Play Therapist and Creative Arts Counsellor with PTUK and BACP. She is on the register for Play and Creative Arts Therapists, which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Liz has experience of working abroad in Mozambique where she practiced play therapy and so she has an understanding of what it is like to live in a different culture and context. She has also worked for a drug and alcohol service, supporting family members that were impacted by another person's substance use.
Liz has a particular interest in childhood trauma and supporting children with issues like anxiety, which holds them back from fulfilling their potential.
Liz envisioned a space where individuals and families could find the support they need to strengthen their emotional well-being. With a unique focus on comprehensive support, we set ourselves apart from other play therapy and creative arts counselling services by offering personalised, empathic care to each client. We pride ourselves on being partners in your journey towards healing and growth. Trust us to guide you with expertise and genuine care.
