Certified Autplay Therapy Provider

Hello, I’m Laura a certified play and creative arts therapist working out of Blue Grove Play Therapy. As a therapist I work in schools across Shropshire and Telford as well as offering private practice in a safe, calm and rural setting on the outskirts of Shrewsbury. I have worked within child education for the past ten years and have spent the last three years simultaneously completing my post graduate diploma to become a fully qualified and certified play therapist. Play therapy is a proven and regulated therapy that allows children to work through concerns and anxieties utilising play as a tool to process life’s worries. I am passionate about giving children a safe and therapeutic space to enable them to gain a greater understanding of themselves and the world they inhabit. I use a range of tools including but not limited to art, music, puppets, role play and sand tray. Children are able to communicate and process their emotions in a form they feel comfortable with. If you have any concerns or queries about how I and Play therapy may be suitable for your child please contact me and I will be happy to discuss my work and what I can offer.

We’ve been keeping a little secret here at Blue Grove for the past few weeks while he got settled in but I would like to introduce you to our new member of the family …Kirby. Kirby has been busy getting used to all the current members of the family and meeting all my current clients and has been generally enjoying life. It is my plan and hope that Kirby will become a certified therapy dog and help me here at Blue Grove Therapy as I start my journey in animal assisted therapy. Kirby has lots of training ahead of him and if you would like to follow his journey from crazy pup to therapy dog give his page a follow .

Rather than viewing neurodivergence as deficit, we celebrate it as difference honouring each child’s unique way of being, playing and relating. In child-centred play therapy, we attune to the child’s authentic communication, sensory profile and rhythms, creating space where they feel safe, seen and accepted exactly as they are. When we embrace neurodiversity as strength, we nurture true connection, self-expression and joy in the playroom.

A big welcome to the Blue Grove family for our three little guinea pigs. These three will be residents in the therapy space and are currently having lots of cuddles and fuss to get them used to handling ready for children. No names yet, still brainstorming.
I am a firm believer in the significance of animals for your mental health, I know they have been pivotal for me since I was a child. Here at Blue Grove I hope to keep adding more creatures into the mix along with the ponies, dog, cat and now Guinea pigs to provide children with the opportunity to engage with animals when they may not otherwise be able to. ❤️
