Hi I’m Glenna and I am a child therapist, fully qualified as a Certified Play and Creative Arts Therapist.
Play Therapy is a non-directive, child led approach where the child has autonomy and leads the play within the therapy with the therapist following their lead. Play is a child’s natural way of expressing themselves, and processing thoughts and feelings. There are a variety of mediums in the room for the child to select from e.g art, movement, clay, sand tray, puppets, music etc. More information about Play Therapy can be found at www.playtherapy.org.uk
I have my own private practice play therapy room and woodland setting in Holmfirth where parent(s)/carer(s) can bring children for one to one play and creative arts therapy sessions. Referrals can be from parents, schools, social workers or other agencies for play therapy, assessments and reports.
My background is in teaching, both in this country and abroad, as well as working with a variety of groups such as the homeless, alcohol and drug issues, and mental health. I’m a qualified teacher and now work as a play therapist following the integrative holistic play therapy model, PTUK ethics and standards, after successfully completing the postgraduate certificate and diploma in play therapy.
For more information you can contact me info@asyouareplaytherapy.co.uk
I offer a free introductory meeting where we can meet and discuss.
I currently work with 4-13 year olds, depending on needs, and work with mental health issues such as anxiety, separation, loss, trauma, behaviours expressing other issues etc.
I also go into schools for outreach play therapy sessions. Schools are able to purchase half or full days.
As well as indoor play therapy, I offer outdoor play therapy and bushcraft play therapy which are subject to individual needs.
I wish you well and hope to hear from you if I can be of any help.
