Not all “play therapy” certificates are created equal. A short online course for £61 is not Play Therapy. PG or Master’s-level training provides the extensive psychotherapy based clinical knowledge, supervised experience, and depth of understanding required to safely and effectively support a child or young person.
Therapists study core clinical areas, including:
attachment theory
brain development and neuroscience
child development across the lifespan
psychoanalytic and therapeutic theory
…and much more.
This level of training cannot be replaced by a brief online certificate.
Play Therapy is not a protected title or profession, meaning anyone can claim to offer it. That is why—both as a parent and as a professional—it is essential to ensure your therapist is registered with a recognised governing body such as BAPT (British Association of Play Therapists) or PTUK (Play Therapy UK) and BACP
Membership in these organisations ensures that therapists are:
properly and rigorously trained
clinically supervised
insured
committed to ongoing CPD
accountable to professional and ethical standards
In short: You do not get Play Therapy from someone with a quick certificate.
Choose a registered, fully trained therapist to ensure your child receives safe, ethical, and evidence-based therapeutic support.

Let’s talk child counselling using Play Therapy, the superhero of healing! It swoops in to tackle all sorts of issues. It creates a cozy space of trust and safety, especially for kids who need a little extra TLC. The trained and qualified therapist is the trusty sidekick, helping kids explore their feelings while offering. As kids and teens dive into play, —they’re mastering social skills, learning how to keep their emotions in check, and honing those nifty problem-solving skills. This sets the stage for healthier coping strategies when they hit those older teenage years and beyond. In a nutshell, play therapy is like a magical toolkit for kids, helping them navigate their feelings in a way that makes perfect sense for their age!

✨Children rarely have the language to tell us they’re overwhelmed, anxious, or in need of connection.
They won’t say, “I’m struggling. with my mental health. Can we sit down and talk about it?”

✨Instead, they reach for us the only way they know how “Will you play with me?” “Watch this.” “Come see.”
These aren’t just invitations to play. They’re bids for presence. For closeness. For co-regulation. Moments where they’re asking, “Are you here with me?”

✨So when the day is long and the toys are loud — pause. Tune in.
Because behind the question is often a deeper one: “Can I count on you?”

✨This is how a trained, qualified Child Therapist will be able to support you and your child. please feel free to get in touch

Children don't often show their pain and difficulties through talking but in their, sometimes challenging, behaviours.
In Play Therapy i can help them and their carers start to look through these behaviours and help recognise what the child is trying desperately to communicate and support understanding, growth and change.
