ld Play Therapy and is trained in Learn to Play, Humanistic Play Therapy and Filial Therapy. It is a way to help children communicate their thoughts, feelings and needs through play. Play Therapy gives children the opportunity to express inner thoughts, feelings, experiences and concerns as they use a more natural form of communication, play.

Kim is interested in learning and understanding how individual children perceive their world and provides a safe, calm and inviting environment for children to explore their thoughts and emotions through play. Kim is a mother of two boys and brings her own experiences of parenting to her play therapy role.

🚫 Myth: There's a common misconception that therapy is solely for children facing significant challenges or labelled as "troubled." The reality is far from this belief.

💡 Fact: All children, regardless of their outward behaviour or perceived level of distress, can benefit immensely from therapy. It's not about labelling or stigmatising; instead, it's a proactive and positive approach to promoting overall well-being.

By debunking the myth that only "troubled" kids need therapy, we shift the narrative to emphasise the universal benefits of Child Therapy. Let's create a culture that encourages all children to thrive emotionally, mentally, and socially.

If you've noticed your child could use a little extra boost in confidence and self-esteem for those social adventures, I am here to help.

Every child is unique, and so is their journey. I offer personalised sessions that cater to your child's specific needs, focusing on their strengths and nurturing their individuality. Through play-based activities and interactive exercises, we explore social scenarios in a fun and engaging way. This helps your child build social skills while enjoying the process.

It is a team effort - I work closely with parents to provide tools and strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into daily routines, fostering a supportive environment at home.

If you feel your child could benefit from a confidence boost in social situations, let's embark on this journey together. Feel free to reach out for more information or to schedule a consultation.

As a child play therapist, I've witnessed the incredible power of play in aiding children's recovery from trauma.

Play provides a safe outlet for children to express their feelings, fears, and experiences in a non-threatening way. Through toys, games, and creative activities, they can communicate and process emotions that might be challenging to verbalise.

Every child's healing journey is unique, and play therapy offers a personalised approach to address their specific needs. If you know a child who has experienced trauma, consider the transformative impact of play therapy in their healing process.
