Frequently Asked Questions

I also offer therapy and Clinical Supervision for trainee and qualified play therapists.

• What is Play Therapy? 

  Play Therapy is a therapeutic approach primarily used with children. It allows them to express their feelings and work through their difficulties through play, their natural medium of communication.
• What is Creative Arts Therapy?

  Creative Arts Therapy uses various creative mediums, such as images, art, sand and symbols, to help adolescents and adults explore their emotions and issues in a safe and non-confrontational way through the use of metaphor and by working with unconscious processes.
• What is Walk and Talk Therapy?
  Walk and Talk therapy sessions take place walking in the outdoors. This can help those who feel more relaxed in a neutral setting, in the open air, or those who find more traditional settings difficult. There are many open spaces, parks and commons in the local vicinity where the sessions can take place.
• What is Parent-Child Attachment Play (PCAP)?

  PCAP is a structured program designed to strengthen the bond between parents and children. It involves teaching parents specific play techniques to foster a more secure and nurturing relationship.
• How long does a therapy session last?

  Generally, a session lasts for 40-50 minutes. This allows sufficient time for therapeutic work while ensuring clients remain engaged and focused.
• How many sessions will I/my child need? 

  The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and circumstances. I typically recommend a minimum of 12 sessions, which we review after 8 weeks to determine if additional sessions are needed.
