“Developing self-awareness and supporting emotional well-being.”

Play Therapy

I use an integrative, holistic, child-centred approach through Play Therapy.
This allows the child to take the lead in choosing from a range of creative media to explore the life themes that are most relevant to them.

My approach is

  • Child-centred
  • Permissive
  • Non-judgmental
  • Balanced between non-directive and directive approaches, depending on needs of client
  • Safe and confidential with simple, clear boundaries.

Creative exploration within a trusting, therapeutic relationship enables the child to develop self-awareness, make sense of their situation, and to overcome difficulties, supporting their emotional well-being.

A balance of directive and non-directive techniques are used, according to the child’s individual needs and response in each session. I take guidance from Play Therapy UK’s ‘Ethical Principles’ (PTUK). I receive regular supervision from a professional creative therapist to ensure my safe and reflective practice.

Feedback from other parents

“Everything about the course has been very relevant to where we are at with our children and myself”

“… unpacking my emotions and my child’s needs during the course really helped me to see how I could have handled situations differently”

“As a new parent I feel like I now have the tools to become a “good enough” mother. The circle of security framework seems like a good foundation and will give me more confidence as the emotional needs of my child grow”
