FAQ
How do your sessions work?
First we will meet to discuss what factors could affect your child and what you would like to achieve.
Then I will work with the child to address the need.
I will meet with your child weekly for 40 minutes in term time.
​
Each session is child-led. I provide the equipment and the safe space for the child to explore how they feel, play out situations and work through anything that is creating a barrier to their well-being.
What can I get help with?
I believe that behaviour is communication. If there is a concern, then Play Therapy can help them explore what is troubling them. This can be through discussion, but the benefit of play therapy is that they are able to access situations and emotions without conversation.
Is there a minimum amount of sessions?
The initial block is 12 weeks. After 8 weeks, we will discuss whether additional blocks of 6 weeks are needed.
​
Once all people agree that therapy can stop, there is a 4 week block of sessions to enable the child to process it coming to an end.
Do you cater for groups?
I can run group sessions as requested.
​
The groups would be run with 4 to 6 children around a common need.
​
This could be
- finding your voice
- who am I?
- worries
- anger​
Where can the sessions take place?
Play Therapy needs a safe space / room where we will not be interupted. Currently this has been in their school so that they do not miss too much learning. I am looking into spaces in towns that I could utilise.
​
I am flexible and am sure we can find a place that suits both the child and my commitments.
How far will you visit?
Depending on my appointments, I can visit the North Somerset area easiest. Bristol and South Gloustershire is possible. Please contact me as my life takes me to various parts of the area.
