Play and Creative Arts Therapy for Children


Are you a parent searching for support for your child?
Child mental health difficulties

Maybe your child is struggling with anxiety, facing difficult challenges or having big, overwhelming emotions or outbursts. Or maybe they have withdrawn or shutdown and no longer enjoy the things they used to. Family life may feel exhausting and you might be unsure how things can improve.

The sooner support can be put in place, the more effective outcomes can be for a family. Finding support for your child (and for yourself) can make a huge difference.

Play Therapy is effective in addressing a wide range of difficulties. I use a child-centred, non-directive, holistic approach which can lead to long-lasting improvements in a child’s mental health and wellbeing.

I offer a free, 20 minute initial chat (phone or video call) to see how we may be able to work together to help your child with whatever issues they may be facing.
