Welcome to The Power of Play

Why Play Therapy?

I work with children through the medium of play to support them to overcome emotional issues, that might be spilling out into their behaviour either at home or in school. 

Play is how children naturally communicate their internal world, through play they bring their unconscious into their conscious, with me along side them, I can support them to begin to create meaning and gain an understanding of what they are experiencing, moving them  towards a place of healing and self discovery. 

Play  removes  any of  the barriers that language  presents. If you have ever asked a child to tell you how they are feeling, they struggle to explain because they can't access the words, they might not even exist to them yet. 

The experience of being in the play room  offers the child a greater insight into themselves; to heal and grow towards accepting themselves in order to move forward.

What to expect in the play room

The play room experience 

The Power of Play, recognises how powerful play is for children and the transformative experience play can offer. I believe in ensuring the integrity of the play room by offering a safe and secure environment where children can explore  and discover.

Things that will support your child:

  • Be aware that things might get harder while your child creates order of their feelings.
  • Avoid asking questions about how the session was or if they had fun, some times it wont be.
  • Whilst we aim to keep things clean, they may get arts and crafts on them, wearing old clothes can help.
  • Consider the hard work a session can be for a child.
