My Space Play Therapy and Parent Support

My Space Play Therapy and Parent Support I help parents of children aged 3-13years old improve relationships at home and bring back calm by understanding their children's behaviours and feelings.

Often children find "talking" therapies difficult. Play therapy allows children to express their feelings and difficulties through play in a safe, non judgemental and child led environment.Through play therapy children can develop a sense of self, improve social skills and concentration and can work through difficult issues. Mediums used in the play room include art and craft materials musical instruments, puppets, role play equipment, sand, water, small world toys, dolls house

Play therapy can be suitable for children who are finding it difficult to concentrate in school, have suffered a trauma, whose parents have separated, have suffered abuse, had a loss/bereavement,find it hard to make/keep friends, have difficult behaviours or have nightmares to name some issues

💜For 30 years I’ve worked with families. And do you know what I see most?

💜Not bad parents.
Not naughty children. Exhausted mothers trying to hold everything together.

💜When a mum is supported:
✅️The home softens
✅️The child regulates.
✅️The cycle shifts.h
This is why I teamed up with the fabulous to create something really special, informative about parenting and also restorative.

The Mum Reset.

💜Because when the mother resets, the family recalibrates.

💜You are the emotional thermostat of your home.
But even thermostats need maintenance.

💜How many of you have escaped to the bathroom for 5 mins peace when things just get too much. I definitely have and I stay quiet so nobody finds me 🥰

💜If this is you then you don’t need a new parenting chart. You need restoration.

💜The pressure to be calm
The guilt after shouting and the exhaustion of trying to “do it right” all the time without guidance

💥My Mum Reset Event is not about judging you.
It’s about holding you, supporting you as a parent and sharing my knowledge with you on the morning. Places are limited so get booked in asap(see bio)

👍If you are done feeling on edge, come. Let me support you.

17/02/2026

💜Hey parents I want to share something with you- When you are sleep deprived, overstimulated, and under-supported:

👉Your brain shifts into survival mode
👉Your tolerance for noise drops
👉Your emotional regulation decreases
👉Your child’s normal behaviour feels intolerable

💜This is neuroscience. Not weakness. And yet so many mothers are carrying this silently.

💜In the Mum Reset, I’ll teach you:

👉What’s happening in your brain and your childs

👉Why your child’s behaviour feels amplified

👉How to regulate yourself quickly in the moment

👉How to reduce the chaos at home

You don’t need more parenting tips.

You need nervous system support.

💜You look like the best parent in the world but this is the part no one sees

✅️The mental checklist.
✅️The emotional holding.
The constant decision making.
✅️The guilt.
✅️The overthinking.
✅️The breaking point you swallow down.

💜You are not just physically tired. You are emotionally saturated.And when emotional exhaustion builds up, patience shrinks.

💜This is why you snap over the wrong-coloured cup.
It’s not about the cup at all. It’s about depletion.

💥At our Mum Reset Event, we talk about:
• How to stop living in fight-or-flight
• How to respond instead of react
• How to reduce the daily battles
• How to feel like yourself again

Are you an exhausted mum. Ive something for you . Pop ME in comments to see what

💜If you feel like you’re snapping more, hiding in the bathroom, or dreading the next demand, this isn’t because you’re a bad mum. It’s because you’re exhausted.

❎When your nervous system is overloaded, your patience disappears.

❎When you’ve given to everyone all day, there’s nothing left.

❎And no one talks about how lonely that feels.

💜You don’t need to try harder. You need rest.You need regulation.
You need support.

👉If you are running on empty, our Mum Reset Event was created for you. A morning to breathe, reset your body with a beautiful soundbath, learn some parenting tools and understand your child's behaviours with lots of other mums feeling the same. Nobody parents well from survival mode.

This is your permission to stop pushing and start restoring.

✨ Join us at Mum Reset. Your FAMILY will thank you- booking essential- see BIO or DM for link

💜What if one morning could change how you understand your child?

💜Not just a break.
💜Not just a “mum’s morning out.”
💜But real answers and true relaxation

Why the meltdowns happen.
Why they explode over small things.
Why you get triggered.
Why you end the day exhausted and doubting yourself.
Regulating yourself and your child

💜As a play therapist and parent coach, for the last 30 years I’ve worked with families in crisis, in chaos, in exhaustion. And as an SNA for 15 years and soundbath facilitator Fiona has also worked with families struggling with behaviours and dysregulated nervous systems.

When you understand the brain and the nervous system then everything can change.

💜Fiona and I have created something different, something special and something unique

👉A beautiful relaxing and supportive space
👉A deeply calming sound bath
👉Clear, practical insight into children’s behaviour
👉Honest conversation about stress, triggers, and motherhood
👉Parenting tools you can use immediately

✅You will relax.
✅You will learn.
✅You will feel understood.
✅You might even laugh.

And you’ll go home lighter not just for you, but for your whole family.

If you are tired of guessing…
If you are tired of reacting…
If you want to actually understand what’s going on in your home…

This is for you.

💖Places are limited. Just scan the QR to book or DM for more details

💜When you’re exhausted.
Overstimulated and every single one of your buttons is being pushed…

Here’s the formula 👇

💜 Regulate YOU first.
Pause. Drop your shoulders. Slow your breath. Say less.

💜In that moment, the aim isn’t perfect parenting it’s don’t escalate.

💜Use one sentence only.
“I won’t let you hit.”
“We’ll talk later.”
“I’m here.”

💜Connection before correction but keep it tiny.
A hand on their back.
Eye contact.
“I know this is hard.”

💥Parent Support sessions now available for March . Dm to book

💜I meet so many exhausted parents in my work, at their wits ends

💜These are the things they tell me om repeat

✅️I told her 100 times
✅️That's it, I am done
✅️Why are they like this
✅️What have I done to deserve this
✅️ how can I get them.to do what I ask
✅️I am constantly ignored
✅️I am so fed up

💜These are the days parents are also dysregulated and yet we expect kids to stay regulated.

💜But regulation is a skill built on over time ...for them and for us !!

💜No parent and no child is perfect !!

💥If you need support in your parenting pop me a dm and let's chat

💜If you’ve ever sat in the dark Googling “Is this normal?”

💜You’re not looking for labels.
💜You’re looking for relief.

💜Big behaviour often isn’t bad behaviour. It’s stress. An overwhelmed nervous system.
A child who doesn’t yet have the skills for what they’re feeling.

💜When you understand what’s happening underneath, you stop parenting from fear
and start responding with clarity. And that’s when everything begins to shift.

👉If this feels like your house right now, message me the word CALM and I’ll send you details about my Calm Home Method  where I show you exactly how to respond in those hard moments.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
