Play Therapy

Individual Play Therapy

Individual Play Therapy provides weekly one-to-one sessions at a consistent time and place. A clinical hour is charged which includes setting up and clearing down the creative play resources and note taking. A full therapeutic toolkit is provided and sessions are tailored to meet the needs and choices of the child. I can offer sessions either at your child's school or at a dedicated space in Worthing.

Individual Play Therapy can be offered to children experiencing the following difficulties:

• Anxiety, worry or fear
• Low confidence or self-esteem
• Emotional regulation and behavioural struggles
• Family transitions- parental separation, divorce, relocation
• Bereavement, grief or illness
• Friendship difficulties- bullying, self-esteem, asserting self in relationships
• Neurodiversity- understanding and navigating identity
• Early trauma affecting attachment style
• School stress, exam anxiety or school refusal

Group Play Therapy

Group Play Therapy offers sessions tailored to a specific referral need from a school or organisation. Sessions are planned for an agreed period to meet the needs of a group. These can be difficulties such as:

• Relationship struggles
• Bullying
• Low self-esteem
• Anxiety

In a shared experience, children can develop coping strategies and build resilience with the support of their peers, processing individually and as a group. Group Therapy is offered to a range of organisations such as charities, schools or alternative provisions.
