Paracetamol DOES NOT cause Autism - Autism represents one of many natural variations in human brains that make up our society.

I don't often comment on politics but the announcement today in the US directly impacts me, my family and many people I care about and work with. It is so important to listen to the science and not get caught up in the scaremongering of people with influence who have an agenda. Please read the attached post for what the science says and be informed. ❤

Celebrating International Play Therapy Week this week. ❤️

Play therapy is not just about play—it’s about healing, connection and giving children the freedom to express what words cannot.

During International Play Therapy Week, we celebrate the power of play as a pathway to healing. For children, play is more than just fun—it’s their language, their way of making sense of the world.

Through play therapy, children can explore emotions, process difficult experiences and build the confidence to express themselves in a safe and supportive space. It’s not about fixing—it’s about understanding, connecting and empowering.

Let’s recognize the importance of play in a child’s journey toward healing and growth.
