Your Questions about Play Therapy Sessions
Where do I start? How do I make an appointment?
The best way to begin is for you to send me an email, we can then plan an initial phone call or meeting. There is no cost for this first discussion. Once I understand more about what you need, we can explore whether I can offer the right kind of support.
What kind of support do you offer?
I am a BAPT registered Play Therapist. I specialise in deepening the bonds of attachment. I work on a bespoke and integrative basis, responding to your family's needs. I can offer infant and family based Play Therapy sessions as well as 1.1 Play Therapy sessions with older children and young people.
I offer trauma-informed Play Therapy sessions designed to follow the needs of the infant, child and their family, including creative, sensory, story, sand tray, water, outdoor play, nurturing touch, movement and yoga play together.
What sort of things can Play Therapy help with?
Reasons for referral might include trauma recovery, attachment and bonding related difficulties, bereavement, anxiety, stress, emotional regulation and big feelings...alongside a wide range of other issues. Referrals are also welcome during pregnancy.
