Children’s play can often appear messy, chaotic or even confusing — but beneath it lies a profound process of communication and healing. Through play, children express what they cannot yet put into words. Registered Play Therapist ®️ provides the safe space, patience, and skilled attunement needed to help a child make sense of their experiences, regain control, and begin to heal. True therapeutic play isn’t about directing a child — it’s about trusting them to lead their own process, at their own pace. That’s where growth happens. 💛

A shout out to all the mums out there- some days are really hard, but your kids need you and you're doing a great job! (And it's okay to ask for help. There is no such thing as perfect parenting)

We need to trust the process

“Practicing Child-Centered Play Therapy is like watching a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis. If you try to help it break free too soon, it won’t develop the strength to fly. The struggle and the wait are part of the transformation.”
