Sam is an accredited Social Worker with postgraduate training in play therapy.

Our practice is grounded in neuroaffirming, trauma-informed and child-centred practices. We believe in meeting families where they are at in their life without judgement.

Children aged 2-12 who may be experiencing:

• Anxiety, worries or fears.

• Big emotions, anger or emotional regulation difficulties.

• Family separation, other changes in family structure.

• Grief, loss and significant life transitions.

• Low self-esteem or confidence difficulties.

• Social and friendship challenges.

• School-related concerns.

• Behavioural difficulties.

• Trauma or stressful experiences.

• Neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD.

• Difficulties expressing thoughts, feelings and needs.

If you are unsure whether play based therapy is the right fit for your child, please feel free to get in touch to discuss further.
