Child centred play therapy provides opportunities for children to immerse into their wonders, feelings, thoughts and experiences through play, imagination and creativity to explore bridges into their inner worlds, rebuild attachments and pathways of all the unique and colourful parts of them.

​

As a Child-Centered Play Therapist, I am enthusiastic about providing a high-quality service where the child is the central focus. I strive to create a safe, accepting space where each child feels seen, heard, and valued—free to bring and explore whatever they choose without fear of judgment, empowered to express their inner world through play. I am committed to upholding the principles of unconditional positive regard and building trusting therapeutic relationship that support healing, growth, and emotional resilience. 

​

I work therapeutically with children across the primary age range, supporting those experiencing a wide range of complex issues including trauma, bereavement and grief, parental separation, transitions between multiple home environments, chronic illness in siblings, neglect, domestic abuse and neurodiverse traits and diagnoses. My approach is holistic, involving the child’s support network and ensuring the therapeutic process is respectful of each family’s unique values, beliefs, and communication styles. 

​

Play therapy sessions:

• Each session lasts 50 minutes.

• The number of sessions required is assessed based on the needs of the client on a case-by-case basis.

• Each session costs £48
