Professionals
We have provided information here for professionals to find out more about our service and what we can offer.
We are a group of four qualified play therapists, with additional qualifications to support children and families. We have therapy rooms based in St Anne’s House, Brislington and The Stable in Weston-Super-Mare. We can travel to schools when travel is not an option for the family.
About our service
Our main service is 1:1 non-directive play therapy. Play Therapy is suitable for children aged from 4-12. It also suits older children, who struggle to process through spoken language or enjoy expressing themselves creatively. It can support a range of difficulties including; excessive emotions (anger, fear, sadness, worry, grief), low self-esteem, adverse life experience(s), separation anxiety, experiences of fostering and adoption, family breakdown, aggression and acting out behaviours.
We are a community interest company so rely on grants and funding to support the work we do. Please contact us for our prices.
We have a range of services providing further family support which you can find below.
