Available Therapies
Play Therapy
Play therapy uses play as the child’s natural language and toys as their words. Through games, art, storytelling, and imaginative play, children can express feelings, work through challenges, and develop healthier coping skills. Play therapy is especially helpful for children who struggle to talk about their emotions or who communicate best through action and creativity. The therapist follows the child’s lead, creating a safe, accepting space where they can explore worries, build confidence, and strengthen emotional regulation.
Sandtray Therapy
Sandtray therapy offers children a gentle, creative way to express their inner world using sand and miniature objects. Instead of relying on words, children build scenes or stories that reflect their feelings, experiences, and worries. This hands‑on, sensory approach helps children feel safe and grounded, making it easier for them to explore emotions that may feel too big or confusing to talk about directly. The therapist supports the child’s process with curiosity and care, helping them make meaning from their creations in a way that feels natural and child‑led.
Psychodynamic therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps children understand how their past experiences, relationships, and unconscious feelings influence their current emotions and behaviour. Through talking, play, and creative expression, the therapist gently supports the child to explore deeper themes such as attachment, loss, fear, or unmet emotional needs. This approach focuses on helping children make sense of patterns in their feelings and relationships, giving them greater self‑awareness and emotional resilience. It is a reflective, relational style of therapy that unfolds at the child’s pace.
Integrative therapy
Integrative therapy combines different therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each child. Rather than using one fixed method, the therapist draws from a range of evidence‑based practices—such as play therapy, creative work, cognitive strategies, and relational approaches—to create a flexible, personalised plan. This allows the therapist to respond to the child’s age, personality, developmental stage, and presenting difficulties. Integrative therapy is adaptable, child‑centred, and designed to support the whole child: emotionally, socially, and psychologically.
