Play therapy for children and early teens
Offering a warm, accepting space where children feel safe to express themselves.
If you’re considering play therapy for your child, I’d be happy to talk through your questions and explain how the process works.
What to Expect
The therapy room is arranged with a variety of toys and creative materials that help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable.
Sessions take place once a week, as consistency is essential in building trust, emotional safety, and a strong therapeutic relationship.
Whether a child’s challenges are linked to a clear event or no identifiable cause, I am able to provide support.
Play therapy can be particularly effective for:
-
Anxiety
-
Low confidence
-
Relationship difficulties (with peers, siblings, or adults)
-
Emotional regulation
-
ADHD
-
Behavioural challenges
-
Family changes
-
Trauma
-
Difficulties expressing oneself
