This training helps you adapt your child-focused expertise to an adult context—offering a flexible, responsive, and relationally rich approach that speaks to the deep needs of adult clients. As a Play Therapist and Young People’s Counsellor, you’re already skilled in using creativity and symbolism to support healing in children and young people. But what happens when those same wounded inner parts show up in adults?

Creative work doesn’t stop with childhood. It evolves—and so can your practice.

National Adoption Week 20 - 24 October 2025

This week, we celebrate the incredible journeys of children, families, and professionals involved in adoption. It is a time to raise awareness, honour stories, and highlight the ongoing support that helps children feel safe, seen, and understood in their adoptive families.

For children who have experienced loss or trauma, building trust and connection takes time, and play is often the bridge. Through relational play and creative therapy, children can explore feelings, strengthen attachment, and begin to rewrite their stories in a space that feels safe and nurturing.

Relational play and creative therapy and Creative therapeutic life story work play a vital role in this process. Using art, movement, storytelling, and play, they help children make sense of their past, celebrate their strengths, and build relationships and confidence in their new families.

Every child deserves to feel that their story matters, and through creativity, connection, and compassion, we can help them see that they truly belong.

Web Therapy: Supporting Families in Crisis
Online CPD training
10/01/2026 - 11/01/2026
£160

Relationships are at the heart of being human. Unfortunately we too often work in isolation with our clients and our clients are left after our therapy sessions to process in isolation. Web therapy brings together the network around the child and forms a web of support for our clients to lean on whilst they find the path to healing. We will give you the tools and the confidence to interact with parents, teachers, social workers and other professionals who are committed to supporting the child at the centre and build this web of support.

We can only be with our clients for an hour a week. Learn to build support that can be part of the child's life for the rest of the time. A web is so much better than a single thread.

“The training this weekend was the most excellent training I have done. It is the first time I have felt that training has tackled the difficult arena of parent support”.
