Play Therapy Services
We offer a range of play therapy services to support children's emotional well-being, including individual play therapy sessions, and parental guidance.
School Support
Our School Support program is designed to help children adjust and thrive in their school environment. Through tailored strategies and compassionate guidance, we aim to build confidence, develop coping skills, and foster positive relationships with peers and teachers, ensuring a smoother transition and a brighter outlook for your child's educational journey. This service also offers support and guidance to teaching staff.
Pupil Premium Funds can be used to provide this service to children in need.
Parental Guidance
We provide parental guidance to support families in understanding and nurturing their child's emotional development. Through informative sessions and practical strategies, we aim to create a supportive home environment for children to flourish.
​
Therapeutic services are most effective when working with parents/carers and the child's surrounding systems. It means that the therapist is able to gain a more rounded understanding of the child's world and to work together to identify what is best for the child.
Specialised Support
We offer specialised play therapy support for children dealing with challenges such as loss/bereavement, separation/divorce, trauma, abuse, neglect, adoption, illness, disabilities, neurodiverse challenges, low self-esteem, distressing behaviour, bullying, attachment difficulties, as well as anxiety and mood disorders. Our goal is to provide a safe space for children to process their experiences and build resilience.
Developmental Support
We focus on fostering emotional, social, and cognitive development, ensuring that children can thrive in their environments. Let us partner with you in guiding your child towards a brighter future.

Testimonials
Child
Thank you for playing with me. You helped me pass different challenges in life. You are the best person I met. So thank you.
Parent/Carer
Our daughter really enjoyed her play therapy sessions. The time gave her a space in which to feel calm and safe. She benefited from this environment which helped her to process some big emotions. Her anxiety has since decreased hugely and she feels more able to cope with the things she found difficult.
Parent/Carer
I want to express my deep gratitude for Mali’s work. Our nine months of therapy felt like years of growth. At the beginning I was very worried, afraid that my sister might be developing childhood depression due to grief, and I was sad myself but needed to stay strong. With Mali’s guidance and support, together with the other therapist, we made incredible progress and were able to finish therapy in a positive way.

I admit that at first I had doubts about play therapy, but now I can truly say it is absolutely worth it. Mali is an exceptional professional, dedicated, compassionate and highly skilled, who made a huge difference in our lives.
