Child Focus Therapy, Yvonne Power

Child Focus Therapy, Yvonne Power Offers Play therapy and Floortime to children ages 2.5yrs and up who have emotional, behavioural or including, Art, Drama, Clay, Music and Sand to name a few.

Play Therapy is an intervention that allows me to work with children through mediums of play. A therapeutic relationship is build with the child and at their pace they begin to work through the inner difficulties we cant see. it is a non directive approach and is a no talk therapy. the child has the choice to talk or not and they are reasured it is there choice. Most children are unable to put into words what it is that has made them feel sick or angry for so long. This is why play therapy is such an effect intervention. I have worked with families for 18yrs now and for 13yrs i worked from a directive approach coaching and teaching families positive parenting and interacive skills and appropriate social skills. When i trainned as a Play therapist using the non directive approach I withnessed great progression in children with anger management, self esteem, bed wetting, improvement in school socially and acedemically within in a relatively short period of time. I have continued to withness this progress over the past 5yrs including using Floortime with children on the Autistic spectrum improving social interaction, eye contact, emotional connection and effection, sensory processing difficulties aswel as speach and language. Yvonne is trainned as a social care worker, Play therapist, seasons for growth facilitator, community addiction studies and a clinical creative play and art therapies supervisor. I am in the process of trainning as a Play therapy course director to provide trainning here in Ireland. please do not hesitate to contact me for any further enquiries.

A big thank you to all of you who came to our 2015 Play Therapy Ireland conference yesterday with Dr Sue Jennings. We had a fabulous day of play, attachment and emotional insights to the amazing work Dr Sue carries out. Thanks for your support and to the members of the advisory board you've been amazing throughout the 2 years I have held the position as CEO of our organisation. I wish Fidelma Twomey all the very best in taking up this role as I step down. It's been a real privilege to fill this role and work on behalf of the play therapists of Ireland. I look forward to continuing the delivery of the play therapy training in Marino institute and continuing to support the board in any way I can. Best wishes, here's to all the new developments to come.

Enjoyed my most resent Play therapy presentation including both theory and experiential workshop in clondalkin Library on Wednsday, with a group of parents. This is always a great discussion with lots of shared experiences both positive and negative within the group of their experiences in parenting. We explored the importance of play for children. What is Play therapy and common difficulties in the group with parenting and ways to approach them. All before sitting back and enjoying a creative visualisation so it can be used with their children as a way to reduce anxiety, learn relaxation techniques and to connect with their little ones in this very busy life style.
It is so important to take time out for free play with your children as often as you can.
Next presentation is in Marino college Dublin on the 25th April 2015.
