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

💜what time is dinner mam ? Ever hear that question. I heard it this afternoon as I was lying on the sofa with a hot water bottle at the end of my back

💜My response , "whenever you make it " . We dont always have to do everything especially when we are tired, unwell and actually need minding ourselves . ....and you know what as Im writing this nobody died from not having a mammy dinner .

💜Please remember we are human too, we have s**t days , we need rest and we also need minding sometimes

💜Calling kids BOLD harm than you think.

💜Because when a child is hitting, screaming, melting down, that’s not bad behaviour, that’s a child who is overwhelmed
and doesn’t have the skills to cope yet.

💜But when we label them
we stop getting curious.

💜And when we stop getting curious…
we miss what they actually need.

💜Ever heard advice that makes you feel like you're getting parenting completely wrong?

💜“Just ignore them.”
“They should know better.”
“Other kids don’t act like that.”

💜No wonder you’re exhausted.

💜Here’s the truth: parenting isn’t simple, and your child isn’t a robot. They’re a human with big feelings, still learning how to handle them and you’re a human trying to guide them while running on very little sleep and a lot of love.

💜You are not failing because your child struggles.
You are not doing it wrong because it’s hard.

💜You’re parenting a real child in the real world and that takes patience, repair, and compassion

💜So if you’ve had enough of the noise… you’re allowed to ignore that advice instead

💜Teenagers aren't a whole new parenting job. They're a continuation of what you've already been building.

💜Connection, coregulation and feeling seen never stop battering. They just look different as our children grow.

💜The work you do NOW carries forward..

💜Omg the guilt. It’s not the moment itself that stays with you…

It’s what comes after.

✅️The replaying.
✅️The overthinking.
✅️The quiet voice telling you
“you should have handled that better.”

You carry it into the evening.
Sometimes into the next day.

💜And even when your child has moved on…
you’re still holding it.

That weight?
That guilt?

💜That’s the part that drains you the most.

💜Not because you don’t care
but because you care so much.

💜But staying stuck in that cycle doesn’t make you a better parent.
It just makes things heavier for you.

✅️You’re allowed to do this differently.

✅️You’re allowed to feel calmer, more in control…
without needing to be perfect.

💥That’s what we start to shift inside The Mum Reset

💜You don’t have to keep second-guessing yourself every day.

💜If you’re dealing with constant meltdowns, explosive tantrums, back chat, or a child who just won’t listen no matter what you try… it’s exhausting. And quietly, it can make you wonder “am I getting this all wrong?”

You’re not. But you might be missing the right support.

💜I rarely have space for new parents right now, but I’ve had a few last-minute sessions open up next week.

If your days feel like a cycle of:
✅️shouting, guilt, promising yourself tomorrow will be different
✅️ walking on eggshells to avoid another meltdown
✅️ feeling triggered by behaviours you don’t fully understand

💜Then this is your moment to get support that actually makes things feel calmer (for both of you).

You don’t have to figure this out alone

✅️Message me “SUPPORT” to grab one of the last spots

Who wants a better relationship with their kids , more laughter

24/03/2026

💜As a mammy I know that some days feel like too much.

✅️Too much noise.
✅️Too many demands.
✅️Too many little moments where you’re needed… without a break.

💜You’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel stretched, overwhelmed, touched out.

💜And then something small happens and it tips you over the edge.

💜Not because it’s a big deal
but because everything else already was.

And that’s the part no one really talks about.

💜You were never meant to carry this much, on your own.

💥💥So if you’ve been feeling more reactive, more emotional, more overwhelmed lately…

It makes sense.

You don’t need to push through it.
You need space to reset.

That’s exactly what The Mum Reset is here for

💜If you’ve been more reactive than you’d like lately… this is for you.

💜It’s so easy to think
“I need more patience”
“I need to handle this better”
“I shouldn’t be shouting like this”

💜But that’s not the full picture.

💜When your nervous system is overloaded,
when you’ve had no space to breathe, reset, or come back to yourself…

💜Of course you’re going to react faster.
Of course things feel harder than they should.

💜Your child isn’t the problem. And neither are you. It’s your capacity.

And right now, yours might be running on empty.

💥That’s exactly what we start to rebuild inside The Mum Reset

Last few spots -come on take action for yourself and your family NOW

💥If you’re trying to stay calm but it’s hard… The Mum Reset will support you
