Hi Everyone

I'm so so excited to finally be able to announce that we are expanding! We're moving to a new premises (still in oaktree business park) which will have 2 play therapy rooms and a multi use room for art therapy/counselling/psychotherapy/parent consultations.

As our waiting list continues to grow, I'm delighted that we will now have the capacity to deliver more play therapy sessions then ever, and alternate therapies too!

We will begin the move from the start of June with the plan of being fully moved and operational by the 1st of July. Exciting times ahead!

My son has had chicken pox since last Wednesday and his sister told him he had to wear socks on his hands. She put a pair on his special bear first so he would see that it's ok and he's still wearing them 6 days later (changing them multiple times a day of course which is making laundry very fun 😅)

Having a bear/toy going through the same thing as a child can be a play therapy method to help a child to project their own fears and feelings onto something else which can feel like a safer way to confront and process them 🥰

Yvonne is running her fantastic play therapy group here again this year aimed at children who are moving from pre school to primary school this year and may be feeling anxious about it.

Get in touch with Yvonne Playful Pathways Play Therapy for more details

Excited to share I will be running a block of group play therapy sessions again this Summer ☀️

Is your child starting “Big school” in September and feeling anxious about the transition?
I will be holding a play therapy group for a 6 week period to support children in navigating this transition.

The sessions will explore feelings of anxiety as well starting big school, through play and creative arts.

The group will be held by a qualified play therapist, who has experience working in early years. Yvonne will create a safe and welcoming space for the children to explore feelings and make new connections and friendships.

This will be small group setting. Spaces are limited to ensure the therapist can provide a safe space to all the children taking part.

Contact Yvonne for more information & if you have any questions!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mammys out there — whatever form that takes. ❤️

Through my work, I get to meet some of the most amazing biological mammys, foster mothers, stepmothers and grandmothers. All showing up, all doing the absolute best they can for their little ones.

And not forgetting the childminders, preschool teachers and teachers who so often step into a mothering role… my own kids were definitely blessed with some of the very best. ❤️

Thinking today of anyone grieving the loss of their own mammy. And remembering my own Nana too, with this being the first Mother’s Day away from the wonderful sons she raised.

I would like to wish Sophie from Time to Bloom Therapy the very best of luck in her new role. Sophie gave our play room a fresh new look and has always been so lovely to deal with. We'll miss having you around Sophie but your new job will be very lucky to have you!

Play Therapist Imani will be running Creative Mindfulness classes with a Therapeutic element on Thursday evenings. Creative mindfulness is fantastic for children struggling with anxiety, anger, and big feelings in general. Being part of a group also gives them the feeling that they're not alone ❤️

This day 4 weeks ago I gave birth to a lovely little boy. Please bear with me as my response times have became slower then normal as I adjust to life as a busy mum of 3 on little sleep 😅

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update — I’m currently in the final weeks of pregnancy, so I appreciate your patience as my response time may be a little slower than usual. That being said, I’m still working behind the scenes, responding to queries and referrals to the best of my current ability.

During my leave, our wonderful new therapists will be available to support you. You can find links to their therapy pages below. If you feel one of them might be a good fit for you or your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out to them directly.
