🌟We’ve been nominated.. Again!🌟

I’m deeply honoured that for the second year in a row, Inner Path Play Therapy has been nominated for Business of the Year at the Family Edit Awards!

When I started Inner Path Play Therapy, I simply wanted to create a space where children and families felt safe, understood and truly seen. To have that recognised two years running means so much more than an award.

There is so much more to running Inner Path Play Therapy than I ever get to show on social media. The planning, the training, the supervision, the behind the scenes thinking and holding that happens long before a child even walks through the door. For families to continue to feel supported and to trust us enough to nominate us again feels like that quiet, steady work is being noticed.

To every family who has trusted in me to support their family along their journey and to every professional who has referred, collaborated and believed in what I do, thank you. 💕

I am so proud of what Inner Path Play Therapy stands for and the community around it. I am deeply grateful to be able to do this work every single day.

🌟Who it’s for: 3rd & 6th year students

🌟Date &Time: Friday February 6th, 4:30pm-6:00pm

✨ World Kindness Day ✨

It doesn’t take much to make a difference - a smile, a kind word, a helping hand. One small act of kindness can create ripples that reach further than we’ll ever know.

Let’s make today and every day a little gentler, a little warmer, and a little kinder, because kindness really can change the world.

We want to thank you all for your continued support here at Inner Path Play Therapy. While things have been a little quieter on our social media, there’s been plenty happening behind the scenes.

🎃Our play therapy services are currently fully booked, and our waiting list is closed for now. We understand this may be disappointing for some families, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope to reopen the list soon. If you’re subscribed to our newsletter, you’ll be the first to hear when that happens.

🎃we will not be offering a Halloween workshop this year, as we’re dedicating that time to improving both our physical therapy space and our digital resources. Our aim is to make everything even more supportive and accessible for the families within Newbridge and beyond.

We’re so grateful to have you on this journey with us. Stay tuned , there’s more to come! 🍂

What a first day with the Inner Care Explorers and Inner Care Club summer classes!

Today we got curious about mindfulness, what it means to slow down, take a deep breath, and calm our busy brains. Through playful breathwork, we began learning how to settle our minds and support our nervous systems in a way that feels safe, fun, and empowering.

Excited for the week ahead with these brilliant young minds! 🌟
