HEALING THROUGH PLAY THERAPY
My Approach
In my work, I provide gently nurturing play therapy services for children aged 4-13 years.
I offer parent consultation and play therapy sessions either at school or in my nurturing home-based clinic.
​
With 25 years of experience in play and children's services, I specialise in building relationships with children using playful techniques, including those children with disabilities or on a diagnostic pathway.
​
My interest is in enhancing attachment between the child and the parent and the child while overcoming difficulties. Play therapy involves various creative activities like puppets, painting, clay, and sand tray.
We also provide parents with valuable information about the benefits of play therapy and ways of unlocking their children's potential.
THE CLINIC
The Play Therapy Clinic
My clinical room is part of my home. It has a separate entrance at the side of the house.
We are currently updating it for long term use as a therapy room.
