A wee link to my recent article, for anyone who would maybe like to read the full thing a bit more easily.

And see how I can never open my eyes properly in photos! 😆

THE founder of a unique play therapy support service based in West Belfast says she was inspired to do something to address long waiting lists for SEN (Special Educational Needs) children and young people.

Ideas, exciting things and changes are brewing away here at RuLu, and for me, so it felt right for a new logo ✨

Always so grateful to receive kind words from Parents/Carers who put their trust in me to work alongside their children in Play and Creative Arts Therapy (spelling mistakes and all!)

Play Therapy can be magic ✨

If you feel your Child/Young Person, or one you know, could benefit from a safe time and space for just them to explore, express and process their Emotions and so much more, please reach out.

I currently have a very limited amount of session times available- morning, after school and early/late evening.

Children often struggle to express complex emotions through words. Play therapy provides a safe and structured way for them to communicate feelings, process experiences, and develop emotional resilience.

🎯 Benefits of Play Therapy for Emotional Expression:

• Identifying emotions: Children use toys, art, and role-play to show feelings they might not verbalise.
• Processing difficult experiences: play helps children work through anxiety, loss, or trauma in a safe environment.
• Building emotional vocabulary: therapists guide children to recognise and name emotions, supporting self-awareness.
• Enhancing coping strategies: through guided play, children develop ways to manage strong feelings effectively.

💡 Tip for Parents: Observe your child’s play patterns. Repeated themes or behaviours can give insight into their emotional world.

Play is not just fun – it’s how children communicate what words cannot capture.
