Caoimhe Foley Play Therapy

Caoimhe Foley Play Therapy "Toys are children's words and play is their language." Garry L. Landreth Carlow.

For over two decades, I've worn the hat of a primary school teacher in various settings, from bustling DEIS schools in Dublin to quaint country schools in Co. My journey in education allowed me to deeply understand the dynamics of children and parents. Intrigued by psychology and mental health, my own journey into motherhood propelled me to delve deeper into this realm. This exploration led me to earn a Post Graduate Certificate and later a Diploma in Play Therapy from the National University of Ireland, Galway. Now, armed with a wealth of experience and a passion for helping children navigate the complexities of their emotions, I feel privileged to serve as a play therapist. I strive to create a space where children can freely express themselves and work through challenging feelings in a way that feels most natural to them – through the magic of play.

This session is aimed at parents, carers, and family members supporting children who are experiencing grief.

We will share information to help parents and family members understand how children and young people grieve, and explore some of the common responses and reactions.

We understand that conversations with children about death and dying are hard. We will offer some guidance and support to have these conversations.

There will be an opportunity for questions to be submitted anonymously via the registration form.

🧠 Did you know children develop body awareness and emotional regulation through more than just sight, sound, and touch?

✨ Two powerful (but often overlooked) sensory systems, interoception and proprioception, help kids manage movement, energy, and big feelings like frustration or tiredness.

🔍 Research shows these systems are more connected than we once thought!

For example, what looks like clumsiness may actually be linked to interoceptive processing, not just movement control.

💡 The more we understand how these systems work together, the better we can support kids who struggle with regulation, coordination, or emotional awareness.
