Fully accredited member of IAHIP and IAPTP Play Therapy uses a variety of approaches, interventions, media and activities appropriate to the individual child’s needs. Play is the natural language of children that enables complex thoughts and feelings, ideas and perceptions to be brought into focus. Children can work through traumatic or difficult life’s experiences. Through play they can make sense of their past and cope better with their future. Children may also learn to manage relationships and conflicts in more appropriate ways. It provides the child with emotional support while the child learns to understand more about their own thoughts and feelings. Research has found Play Therapy to be beneficial for every child and can be used as a preventative measure. It helps children make sense of their world, reaching their full potential while developing resilience and emotional intelligence. Possible referral issues include:

-Emotional or behavioural issues
-Communication difficulties
-Delayed or uneven development
-Learning difficulties
-Relationship difficulties
-Family Disruptions such as illness or divorce
-Trauma
-Bereavement or loss
-Abuse or neglect
-Chronic illness/hospitalisation
-Bonding and attachment issues
-Fostering, adoption and identity issues.
-ADD, ADHD, Autism

Thanks for for inviting me to hold a creative puppet workshop today. There was a very creative group of children who attended and took part in role play, creative movement, made their own puppets and created character profiles 🎭✨
