Love this!

In play therapy, toys aren’t just toys – they’re a child’s language. Each tool opens a different doorway into their inner world.

The sand tray becomes a landscape of emotions. A child might bury fears beneath the sand or build a safe place where things finally feel under control. Puppets allow shy voices to speak – stories that were silent can suddenly come alive on a small stage. With drawing and painting, colours take on meaning; anger may come out as sharp red lines, hope as a bright yellow sun.

Miniature figures and toys help children recreate their worlds – families, friends, or moments that feel too big to face head-on. Through these tiny scenes, they can process the past, experiment with change, and imagine something better.

Every tool carries quiet power. When a child plays, they’re not escaping reality – they’re rebuilding it, piece by piece, in a way that helps them heal.

I love watching the fireworks light up the sky. Every year I anticipate feeling a chill in the air and my bobble hat firmly on my head. I look forward to the hot chocolate to warm me up and the magic that you can see on peoples faces of all ages.

For some it’s overwhelming, to loud, to bright, to many crowds at local bonfire get together.

It’s important to remember that not everyone’s experiences and expectations are the same - and that’s ok. It’s about how people respond and support each other through the various lens we view the world with.

For children, play is more than fun – it’s communication, expression, and healing.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re celebrating the power of play to support emotional wellbeing.

🎲 Play therapy helps children:
✨ Understand and express feelings
✨ Build confidence and resilience
✨ Develop emotional balance and self-awareness

When children play, they’re processing their world – one story, one feeling, one figure at a time.
Let’s keep making space for that healing language to be heard. 💙

Happy summer holidays!

It’s the last few days of working before the summer holidays start and a few weeks of relaxing begins.

I have all fingers crossed for the weather to continue to shine for us all. Although I will be continuing to work on my own CPD, business paperwork and sorting out the play kit, client work is paused for the summer. This gives me the chance to reset and refocus for the next academic year ahead.
