Play Therapy gives children a safe space where they can explore any feelings or events that may be difficult for them.
A wide range of play materials are available in the playroom for your child to use to express themselves, these include; art materials, small figures, sand, puppets and musical instruments.
​
I work closely with families, and with permission, children’s schools in order to gain a greater understanding of the reasons for coming to Play Therapy. Through regular communication and looking at your child’s strengths and difficulties, I can gain a greater understanding of individual situations in order to help your child make sense of their feelings and experiences.
​
Play Therapy sessions take place weekly, at the same time and on the same day, in a consistent setting. A minimum of 12-15 sessions is recommended, however some children attending Play Therapy may require a longer-term intervention.
​
Play Therapy sessions take place at the Play Therapy clinic located at Carrowbreck House (NR6 5FA) or, with the agreement of your child’s school and if a suitable room for Play Therapy is made available, Play Therapy sessions can take place in a school setting. School sessions are subject to availability based on existing bookings.
