A Child-Centred Play Therapist undertaking one-to-one therapeutic work with children, also providing Attachment-Based Family Therapy and Therapeutic Group Work.

How does Play Therapy work for Children?

Play therapy helps 4-12 year old’s to understand and explore feelings and events they may find troubling.  Play is a child’s primary means of communication and is fundamental for development.  Play Therapy provides the child with a space where they can express themselves using the metaphor of play whilst within the safety of a therapeutic relationship.

Benefits of Play Therapy can include;

  •  Increase in self-esteem
  • Decreased levels of anxiety
  • Improved relationships with family and friends.
  • Focuses on behavioural and emotional difficulties.

“My son had several sessions with Karen and I felt it benefited him greatly.  It provided him with time to have some personal space and spend time with Karen in a safe environment.

​He enjoyed the time he spent with Karen and looked forward to returning on a weekly basis.

​He never questioned why he was visiting Karen but just looked upon it as a time to have fun and have an opportunity to talk to someone outside of the family group.

​I would highly recommend meeting with Karen and discussing how she could assist as she has been a great help to my son.”
