We understand that Christmas represents so much for different people. It could be the happiest time of year for some of you or the loneliest and saddest for others. It may be heartbreaking and stressful or exciting and full of love.
Whatever it may mean to you and however busy it may be, remember that the best thing you can give to someone is love, time, connection and empathy.
Look after yourselves and each other 💛

Our 5 values underpin all the work that we do with the children and families at Holding Little Acorns.

CONNECT - HOLD - NURTURE - HEAL - FLOURISH

This begins during the first conversation we have with the family and continues until the last day we work with the child.
We are looking forward to sharing these values with many children and families in the future so get in touch if you would like to find out more.

Are you wondering where the name Holding Little Acorns came from???

The concept of Holding Little Acorns originates from the therapeutic relationship metaphorically ‘holding’ the children whilst they explore and heal enough to flourish into mighty oak trees. The squirrel symbolises us as therapists. This represents our energetic, playful and resourceful qualities when working with our clients. The acorn symbolises the child. This signifies their strength, power and potential for growth.

Welcome to Holding Little Acorns. We have been working on our business for the last 5 months and are so excited to be sharing it with you all.
We met each other in September 2018 when we started our training and journey to become Play and Creative Arts Therapists. We realised we shared similar passions and ideas and have developed these in setting up our private practice.
Our journey now begins and we cannot wait to see what the future holds :)

Meet Tor
My background is in teaching, which led to an interest in children with SEND. My previous role has been as a SENCO in both primary and secondary settings. I have a passion for supporting children with social, emotional and mental health difficulties, which influenced my career direction and journey to becoming a Certified Play and Creative Arts Therapist. Having worked with a range of children and families with additional needs, I recognise the need for therapeutic intervention with the child at the centre of all support.
I am currently working as a Play and Creative Arts Therapist in primary and secondary schools in North Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

My interests are in: trauma, attachment, emotional regulation, neuroscience and adolescents.
