✨ World Kindness Day ✨

It doesn’t take much to make a difference - a smile, a kind word, a helping hand. One small act of kindness can create ripples that reach further than we’ll ever know.

Let’s make today and every day a little gentler, a little warmer, and a little kinder, because kindness really can change the world.

We want to thank you all for your continued support here at Inner Path Play Therapy. While things have been a little quieter on our social media, there’s been plenty happening behind the scenes.

🎃Our play therapy services are currently fully booked, and our waiting list is closed for now. We understand this may be disappointing for some families, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope to reopen the list soon. If you’re subscribed to our newsletter, you’ll be the first to hear when that happens.

🎃we will not be offering a Halloween workshop this year, as we’re dedicating that time to improving both our physical therapy space and our digital resources. Our aim is to make everything even more supportive and accessible for the families within Newbridge and beyond.

We’re so grateful to have you on this journey with us. Stay tuned , there’s more to come! 🍂

What a first day with the Inner Care Explorers and Inner Care Club summer classes!

Today we got curious about mindfulness, what it means to slow down, take a deep breath, and calm our busy brains. Through playful breathwork, we began learning how to settle our minds and support our nervous systems in a way that feels safe, fun, and empowering.

Excited for the week ahead with these brilliant young minds! 🌟

Big feelings don’t take a summer break and neither do we.

We’re excited to launch our Inner Care Summer Classes at Inner Path Play Therapy, designed to support your child’s emotional wellbeing in a fun, creative, and meaningful way.

These small-group classes blend mindfulness, play, art, and movement to help children build inner confidence, calm, and connection, tools they can carry with them well beyond the summer.

Whether your child is just starting to explore their inner world or growing their emotional toolkit, these classes offer a space to pause, recharge, and reconnect in a fun and engaging way.

Classes run throughout July for ages 2–18. Spaces are limited to keep things personal and purposeful,see full schedule on the poster.

Booking now open. Contact Aoife to secure your place.

As the Easter break ends, each child steps back into school carrying their own unique experience.
Some may be excited to return to school, while others may feel a little wobbly.
Some may have had a joyful, connected Easter; for others, it might have been a time of change or challenges.

As parents, it can be helpful to pause and remember there’s no ‘right’ way for a child to feel about returning to school.
Gentle conversations, soft routines, and extra patience can help ease the transition.

A simple idea to support your child (and yourself):
Try a small feelings check-in at home.
Use language or tools (like a feelings thermometer, check out the second image) tonight to open conversation about how all are feeling before school tomorrow:

🌟 “What’s one word for how you’re feeling today?”
🌟 “Is there anything you’re looking forward to or feeling unsure about?”

You don’t need to fix or solve anything , listening with warmth and presence is enough.
And don’t forget: it’s okay to check in with yourself too.

Be kind to yourself and your child as you both move through this transition together.
