Where children and parents feel understood
When your child is struggling repeatedly with something you can feel helpless and afraid for them. Parenting children who are frustrated, angry and aggressive, or anxious and fearful of the world is emotional. It is painful to watch their daily struggles. Sometimes it feels as if the support you are offering as a parent is not enough. Working together, we will make sense of what is happening for your child and plan what will help.

Play therapy is a therapy specifically designed to support children. It allows them to show how they see the world, then work through play to make sense of this and develop skills to manage their days with more confidence and enjoyment. Play therapy can be helpful for children with autism and ADHD as well as children who have lived through trauma or who are overwhelmed by anger or anxiety.
Play therapy harnesses children’s natural instinct to play. Children develop social skills, emotional understanding, and build their confidence and self-esteem. They learn to regulate their feelings and make sense of what happens in their world. Play brings about growth and change in every child but is particularly helpful for children who are distressed or struggling.
