In play therapy, we don’t see children as something to be “fixed.”
We listen to their stories, spoken and unspoken.

We witness their feelings, even the big and messy ones.

We walk alongside them, offering safety and support, as they heal in their own time.

Every step is theirs, we are simply there to hold the space.

Here’s something you might not know about play therapists…
Our work doesn’t stop when the session ends. We carry your child in mind throughout the week, reflecting, researching, planning and sometimes smiling when something reminds us of them.
Because for us, it’s always more than one hour.

If your body can hold trauma, it can also hold joy, safety, love and peace.

In Play Therapy, we honour the body as a storyteller, where experiences are held, expressed and eventually transformed. Through play, children access not just their pain, but also their innate capacity for healing. The body is not just where trauma lives, it’s where safety can be felt and where hope can grow.

Healing doesn’t always start with words. Sometimes, it begins with play.

In Play Therapy, we see how a grounded, attuned adult helps a child feel safe enough to explore even the stormiest emotions. When we regulate ourselves, we invite co-regulation.

Be the calm in their chaos.

Neuroscientists have identified 3 pivotal factors in the first 7 years of life:

Emotional nurture – the warm, attuned relationships that build trust in others.

Rich conversation – joyful back-and-forth with adults who genuinely enjoy a child’s company.

PLAY – and lots of it.

Play therapists understand this intuitively. In the playroom, we honour the child’s inner wisdom through connection, presence and the healing power of play — because this is how brains grow and how trust, resilience and self-worth take root.

In play Therapy, the playroom is not a place to fix or control, but a space to honour the innate wisdom already unfolding within the child. When we truly listen, we discover that children are often our greatest teachers.

What happens in childhood doesn’t just fade with time — it weaves itself into our nervous system, shapes how we connect with others and colours our sense of worth. In play therapy, we honour this truth by creating a safe, accepting space where children can express their inner world, heal through play and begin to rewrite their story with connection, regulation and self-worth at the heart.

Play Therapy is a structured, evidence-based, trauma-informed modality which is grounded in neuroscience, child development, play development, developmental psycho-pathology, including attachment theory, mental health, social and emotional wellbeing, disability and trauma and therapeutic theory.

It is not ‘just playing’ it is the child natural form of language for working through their experiences, complex emotions, trauma, grief, anxiety and behavioural challenges.

Children don’t always have the words to say, “I’m angry,” “I’m scared,” or “I feel out of control.” But through play, they can show us. Aggressive play—within safe boundaries—is a powerful way for children to express big emotions inside, process overwhelming experiences and begin to make sense of their world.

On International Day of Play, we are celebrating one of the most essential parts of childhood: play. With the theme “Choose play – every day”, we are reminded that play is not just fun — it’s fundamental.

In play therapy, we see every day how play supports children’s emotional regulation, social development, problem-solving and self-expression. It helps children make sense of their experiences, strengthen relationships and build the inner resources they need to thrive.

Play is how children communicate, heal and grow. Let's protect time for play, value its power and make space for it — in therapy rooms, homes, classrooms, and communities.

Because when children play, they flourish.

Schools as Healing Communities
Schools are central to a child’s world — places of learning, friendship and sometimes challenge. Bringing Play Therapy into schools creates space for emotional expression, connection and support right where children need it most.
