Matthew Haywood Therapist

Therapeutic Play and Creative Arts Specialist I am a Play Therapy UK (PTUK) accredited Therapeutic Play and Creative Arts Therapist.

Play in therapy helps children to express themselves in their own way, especially if they are struggling to understand how they are feeling or are finding it hard to put their experiences into words. It may be that you recognise your child experiencing challenges or mental health difficulties; therapeutic play can help them understand and manage their thoughts and feelings. Whilst I work with schools to provide therapy, I also provide therapy for private clients. Therapy sessions can be provided for children with a range of needs. Using play means that a child can explore their thoughts and feelings in creative and dynamic ways, without having to use words to articulate themselves. Play Therapy sessions aim to build a child’s ability to develop healthy and resilient relationships, and to work though traumatic experiences which may be preoccupying them and make learning at school challenging. PTUK therapists undertake rigorous academic and clinical training before qualifying. To be registered with PTUK, all therapists must: have qualified via a university approved postgraduate courses; be clinically supervised by an accredited supervisor; attend regular accredited professional development courses and have an enhanced DBS check. I am registered with the Professional Standards Authority, an independent organisation regulating and monitoring health and social care providers. I have liability insurance and am GDPR compliant.

Supporting children with their self-care & mental health

14/10/2022

World Mental Health Day might be over but your mental health remains a priority 365 days a year. Make self-care a priority. 😊

On World Mental Health Day let's remember that we all have mental health. Do what you need to look after it and don't be afraid to ask for help. In my role as a Therapeutic Play & Creative Arts Therapist, it is a privilege to support children & young people with their mental health.

As the theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week is loneliness, our Clinical Team have been keeping an eye out for any useful resources in this area, particularly for children and young people.

We especially like this '15 Things to do if You're Feeling Lonely: For Young People' booklet created by the Mental Health Foundation in partnership with Leaders Unlocked for the campaign. Although designed primarily for young people., all age groups could probably benefit from some of these - it's great to see art and creativity getting a mention in tip 3!
