Why Play Therapy?
Sessions for children to explore emotions, experiences, and challenges in a safe, supported space.
- Children don’t always have the words to explain what they are feeling or what might be happening in their inner world. Play gives them another way to communicate.
- Through play, children can explore experiences, express emotions and make sense of things that may feel confusing or overwhelming. Within a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship, they are given the space to work at their own pace, without pressure to talk or explain.
- Play therapy isn’t about fixing a child. It is about creating the conditions in which they can feel understood, build emotional resilience and discover their own ways of moving forward.
Starting therapy
Taking the first step can feel daunting. I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to give you the opportunity to tell me a little about your child, ask any questions, and explore whether play therapy feels like the right fit for your family. There is no obligation to continue.
For children
Sessions are based around play. This might include drawing, storytelling, imaginative play, or simply being.
There is no pressure to talk or perform. I follow the child’s pace.
Over time, therapy can support children to:
Feel more emotionally settled
Understand their feelings
Express themselves more safely
Feel more secure in relationships

For parents
Parent work is a space to slow things down and make sense of what is happening at home.
We might explore:
What behaviour might be communicating
Emotional patterns in the family
Your responses and what shapes them
Ways to strengthen connection
There is no expectation of perfection, only understanding.

Working together
I may work with children, parents, or both depending on need. I also liaise with schools where appropriate.
The aim is always the same: understanding what is going on underneath, so things can shift from the inside out.
If you’re unsure
It’s completely okay to feel unsure. You don’t need to have it all figured out — just a starting point.
