I am currently not accepting new referrals or keeping a waitlist.
At Be Me Play Therapy, children are held in the highest regard and I believe that they are experts of their own play. I aim to provide a nurturing and supportive counselling environment for children to explore their inner world, express their feelings and feel empowered to grow and learn at their own pace. By working closely with families and the wider community, my hope is for children to heal, to feel connected, and to fulfill their unique potential.
Child Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) is a form of counselling in which the therapist provides a range of toys and materials, and facilitates the development of a safe relationship for the child to fully express and explore self (feelings, thoughts, experience and behaviour).
CCPT is a child-led therapy which allows the child to guide the therapist through their play and interactions to the exact source of their issue; rather than the therapist ‘guessing’ or assuming what therapeutic activity would be most helpful to the child.
CCPT helps children develop confidence and positive self-esteem, find healthy ways of communicating and can promote problem solving, resilience and coping in ways that are appropriate to their age and development.
I am an accredited social worker and qualified play therapist and have worked with children and families in a range of roles for 15+ years.
I am a passionate advocate for children's mental health and well being and I undertake regular clinical supervision and professional development to stay up to date with current practice and theory.
I am honoured to work in the field of Child Centred Play Therapy and to walk alongside families, assisting children to develop safe, secure relationships.
