My Space Play Therapy and Parent Support

My Space Play Therapy and Parent Support I help parents of children aged 3-13years old improve relationships at home and bring back calm by understanding their children's behaviours and feelings.

Often children find "talking" therapies difficult. Play therapy allows children to express their feelings and difficulties through play in a safe, non judgemental and child led environment.Through play therapy children can develop a sense of self, improve social skills and concentration and can work through difficult issues. Mediums used in the play room include art and craft materials musical instruments, puppets, role play equipment, sand, water, small world toys, dolls house

Play therapy can be suitable for children who are finding it difficult to concentrate in school, have suffered a trauma, whose parents have separated, have suffered abuse, had a loss/bereavement,find it hard to make/keep friends, have difficult behaviours or have nightmares to name some issues

💜Feeling touched out, overwhelmed, and like you’ve lost yourself a bit?

I’m going LIVE with Fiona to talk about what’s really going on for mums right now and why so many of us are running on empty.

We’ll be chatting honestly about:
💜Why motherhood feels heavier than we expected
💜The mental load no one prepared us for
💜Why you’re not “failing” when if it feels like it

And most importantly… how to reset.

Because The Mum Reset isn’t just another workshop it’s your chance to:

💜Feel like YOU again (not just “mum”)
💜understand your triggers + your child’s behaviour
💜learn how to handle meltdowns without losing yourself
💜Get out of survival mode and into calm, confident parenting
💜Connect with other mums who just get it
If you’ve been thinking "something needs to change "this is your sign.

🎟️ We’ll be talking all about it on the Live + sharing how to grab your ticket.

💜Do you remember the days when your teens told you everything....every thought, every minute of school, friends, everything

💜Fast forward to the teens and you get ZERO, you ask how they are and you are lucky to get a grunt 😆

💜Parenting teens can feel like grieving a stage thats not even gone yet

💜I meet so many mammies who wonder "how can I stay connected with them". I know this is a hard stage too as I have 2 teens and 1 adult so I am currently wearing the t-shirt

💜If this sounds like you, you aren't the only one . Come and join the rest of us at The Mum Reset on 27th March . Get the support you so desperately deserve as a mum

💜A thought that most parents have but never say out loud.

✖️Why does parenting feel harder for me than everyone else ?

💜ive had days where Ive said the same to myself. Days when there was nobody else around I felt I could be honest with and say how much I was struggling with parenting, running a house, getting the dinner etc.

💜But here's what I 100% know, you aren't alone in feeling this way. But when mums come together and have a space to talk honestly without judgement you realise....

✅️Everyone is finding it hard at some point
✅️We are ALL learning as we go
✅️NONE of us are meant to do it alone

💜This is the exact reason that and I have created something extra special for us all, The Mum Reset a place to get the much needed parenting support from me and eachother and experience a gorgeous soundbath and breathwork experience. Imagine leaving with the knowing you can have calm.in your home. , knowing you are a good parent and knowing you have the support to do it .

💜Parenting doesn’t just raise children it raises the parts of us that were never fully seen, soothed, or understood.

💜That’s why some moments feel so much bigger than the behaviour in front of you.

💜You’re not a bad parent.
You’re a human with a nervous system and a story.

💜And when we understand our triggers, we stop parenting from reaction and start parenting with awareness.

✅️This is exactly the work we do inside my parent support sessions

💜Somewhere along the way, many mums lost a little bit of themselves.

💜Between the school runs…
the packed lunches…
the bedtime routines…
the constant worrying about everyone else…

💜Many mums quietly stopped asking themselves one important question:

“What do I need?”

💜After 30 years supporting families, I see how often mothers are the ones holding everything together, while running completely on empty.

💜And yet, we rarely give ourselves permission to pause.

💥That’s one of the reasons Fion and I created The Mum Reset on March 27th.

A space for mums to slow down, breathe, reconnect with themselves and feel supported again.

Because when mums feel calmer, stronger and more resourced…
it changes everything at home.

💜When we are busy rushing around tending to the needs of everyone else, whose tending to our needs.

💜I know as a mum too we tend to put everyone else first but imagine if you took 2 hours out when the kids were at school to tending to your needs how that would impact how you respond to your kids, how their behaviour might trigger you differently, how your home becomes calmer,happier with more time for fun because less is spent giving out..

💥Come along to The Mum Reset on 27th March and let this happen.

💜After 30 years supporting families and being a mum 23 of those years, I know how damm hard parenting is.

💜I want to share these few things that I learned during my journey .

💜Most parents aren't struggling because they dont care. They are struggling because they are tired, overwhelmed and doing it all alone.
