Your Role as a Parent in Play Therapy 💛
As a parent, your support is central to your child’s therapeutic journey. 🌱
🔹 Your child may choose to keep what happens in their sessions private – this is normal. They might not have the words to explain yet.
🔹 Play Therapists keep session details confidential but can share general themes, patterns, and topics so you can support your child at home.
🔹 There’s no need to expect ‘good’ behaviour in sessions – therapy is a safe space for free expression, without judgement.
When you choose a Play Therapist listed on the Play Therapy UK Accredited Register, you can be assured they meet the highest professional standards. Our register is the first of its kind – independently overseen and accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), the body that protects the public by ensuring quality and safety across health and social care: https://zurl.co/lxqe4
This means your child’s therapist:
✅ Holds a Level 7 postgraduate qualification in Play Therapy (https://zurl.co/7G8zP)
✅ Has membership with PTUK – a professional body regulated by the PSA
✅ Receives mandatory monthly clinical supervision
✅ Completes ongoing safeguarding training and yearly CPD specific to play therapy
✅ Follows GDPR compliance standards
