🎮 Video Gaming Therapy - Connection Through Play

For many children and teens, gaming is more than a hobby — it’s where they feel calm, confident, and connected.

Our qualified, neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapists use games like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite to help children build confidence, reduce anxiety, and strengthen emotional wellbeing - all through the familiar language of play.

Sessions are:
🧠 Led by experienced child psychotherapists
💬 Conducted online, UK-wide
📘 EHCP accessible and ND-affirming

We meet each young person where they already feel safe - in their digital world - and help them grow from there.
