A Safe Therapeutic Space
A calm, nurturing environment where children feel secure enough to explore and express.
Child-Led, Relationship-Focused Play
Sessions follow the child’s pace while supporting regulation, connection, and trust.
Supporting Children and Families
Working alongside caregivers to strengthen understanding, attachment, and emotional wellbeing.
The Power of Play
Play is a child’s natural language and how they make sense of their world.
In play therapy, children are supported through connection, regulation, and relationship. This creates the safety needed for healing, resilience, and emotional growth.
My Qualifications
Working Hours
Please note that sessions are offered by appointment only.
Play therapy is designed
for children between the ages of 4 and 13
Play is how children naturally communicate and make sense of their experiences. In play therapy, children are supported through connection, safety, and regulation. Rather than focusing only on behaviour, the therapy looks beneath the surface. This allows children to feel understood and supported as emotional growth unfolds
The Ways We Play
Individual Play Therapy
Designed for children between the ages of 4 and 13, with 40-minute sessions focused on emotional expression, regulation, and connection through play.

Filial Play Sessions (Parent–Child Therapy)
For parents and children wanting to strengthen their relationship and emotional bond through guided therapeutic play and connection.
Clinical Supervision
Available to Play Therapy International (PTI) students and qualified members, offering reflective, supportive, and ethically grounded supervision.
The Play Therapy Process
What to expect when starting play therapy
Step 1: We begin with an initial parent interview (parents only). This gives me the opportunity to understand your child’s world, your concerns, and what may be happening beneath the behaviour. Together, we decide whether play therapy feels like the right next step.
Step 2: If we move forward, your child will attend weekly 40-minute play therapy sessions. These sessions offer a consistent, safe space where regulation, emotional expression, and connection can develop through play.
Step 3: After a period of sessions, we meet again for a parent review. This is a time to share reflections, insights, and supportive tools, and to decide together whether continued play therapy would be beneficial.
