Play therapy

Play therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic intervention for children. In 'non-directive play therapy' the child is able to choose their play throughout the session. The therapist responds empathically to whatever is 'played out' or 're-enacted' during play or conversation; and their feelings accepted, and explored in order to help the child develop understanding, and resilience. Children can experience this whilst having fun - all good for wellbeing! Items available include sand tray and figurines, sensory items, role play items. creative items such as paints, nurturing toys including dolls houses, games, lego, and construction toys. To learn more about play therapy please view the British Association of Play Therapists website (BAPT) .

Therapeutic life story work

Mainly used for fostered or adopted children, this service helps children understand their life story. It assists them in processing the feelings associated with their past, and how this may be contributing to their feelings in the present. This work involves the caregiver also, and sometimes involves the child or adolescent creating their journey on paper, in their own creative way. The hope is that this will foster a deeper sense of self-awareness and emotional integration.

Support for Parents:

These are 1:1 sessions for caregivers with the therapist to help them understand how trauma can affect children. and how play therapy can help. These sessions develop effective support techniques for parents, using informed methods from play therapy, thereby offering crucial caregiver support.
