In child-centred play therapy, the child leads and we follow with curiosity, respect and trust in their process.

It’s not always easy to slow down, but when we do, we give space for the child’s inner world to unfold at their own pace. That’s where healing happens — in the moments we listen, not direct. 💚

Play is nature’s design for growth.
It’s through play that the brain learns, organises and creates itself.
In Play Therapy, this natural process is nurtured, helping children heal, develop and thrive.

In Play Therapy, children don’t need to be pushed to share their story.
When the space feels safe and the materials are right, their story will naturally emerge in their own way and in their own time.

“The debt we owe to play of the imagination is incalculable.” – Carl Jung

In Play Therapy, imagination isn’t just play — it’s healing, growth, and self-discovery.
Through play, children can explore their inner world, process experiences, and find new ways of being.

SLOW DOWN.
Your child will learn to write their name and count to ten when they are ready. What matters most right now is building resilience, independence, perseverance and happiness — the foundations that carry them through life.

These are nurtured through PLAY.

In play therapy, we honour this natural process, creating a safe space where children grow, heal, and thrive through the language they know best: play.

Let’s plan to not plan. Let’s give children the space to explore the unscripted beauty of childhood — where creativity, imagination and curiosity naturally thrive.

In play therapy, we honour this freedom too: a safe space where children can lead the way, express themselves, and discover their own paths to healing and growth.

In play therapy, we don’t see children as something to be “fixed.”
We listen to their stories, spoken and unspoken.

We witness their feelings, even the big and messy ones.

We walk alongside them, offering safety and support, as they heal in their own time.

Every step is theirs, we are simply there to hold the space.

Here’s something you might not know about play therapists…
Our work doesn’t stop when the session ends. We carry your child in mind throughout the week, reflecting, researching, planning and sometimes smiling when something reminds us of them.
Because for us, it’s always more than one hour.

If your body can hold trauma, it can also hold joy, safety, love and peace.

In Play Therapy, we honour the body as a storyteller, where experiences are held, expressed and eventually transformed. Through play, children access not just their pain, but also their innate capacity for healing. The body is not just where trauma lives, it’s where safety can be felt and where hope can grow.

Healing doesn’t always start with words. Sometimes, it begins with play.

In Play Therapy, we see how a grounded, attuned adult helps a child feel safe enough to explore even the stormiest emotions. When we regulate ourselves, we invite co-regulation.

Be the calm in their chaos.

Neuroscientists have identified 3 pivotal factors in the first 7 years of life:

Emotional nurture – the warm, attuned relationships that build trust in others.

Rich conversation – joyful back-and-forth with adults who genuinely enjoy a child’s company.

PLAY – and lots of it.

Play therapists understand this intuitively. In the playroom, we honour the child’s inner wisdom through connection, presence and the healing power of play — because this is how brains grow and how trust, resilience and self-worth take root.

In play Therapy, the playroom is not a place to fix or control, but a space to honour the innate wisdom already unfolding within the child. When we truly listen, we discover that children are often our greatest teachers.
