I always knew being a Play Therapist was the career for me, helping children become happier. The lovely feedback from parents and seeing the positive changes in children first hand is just the icing on the cake. 😀

With the magic of Halloween over, it got me thinking about how parents often relate to Play Therapy as 'magic'. 🪄
However, after reflecting on how it might feel this way, I often remind them of the neuroscience research that backs up this powerful work 🧠

When parents notice their child does an absolute 180 in just 9 weeks of Play Therapy, as their Play Therapist, I cant help but smile from ear to ear 😄 A happy child, happy family

The Play Toolkit proves an important part of the Therapeutic process for children and young people. It's not just what they use, but how in which they use it

These kids are just flying out our door!
Improving in areas such as SPEECH for example, can help a child become less anxious socially, feel more understood and thrive in social situations. It aids social and emotional growth and provides future opportunities.
When CONCENTRATION improves, that can help as child's memory, cognitive function and productivity and task completion leading to better academic performance and decision making. It helps support character development, social behaviour and overall success.

Endings can be difficult, and for some clients ending Play Therapy is the same. Saying goodbye to that person you connected with, goodbye to the important processing done in sessions, goodbye to that special safe space clients can be their true selves however that presents itself. Endings can also be powerful, an opportunity to see progress made, be thankful as well as hopeful for the future, whatever life has to offer. As Play Therapists, we support our clients through both the negatives and positives of endings
