Ubuntu for…
You may have reached this page because you are worried about your child. They could be showing outbursts of emotions at home or at school, showing behaviour that is difficult to manage, or are just not themselves.
We hope that we can provide you with the information you need via this page to know how to access support. You’ve come here because you care about doing the right thing for your child, so well done – you’re already doing a great job.
What can we offer?
The main service we offer is Play Therapy. This is a 1:1 intervention with the therapist and child, from 20 weekly sessions. Additionally, we will book up to four sessions with yourself to discuss any developments offer our insights and support.
As well as Play Therapy, we offer focused parent and family interventions. This is if you are looking for support yourself. You may want to work with a group of other parents, 1:1 with a therapist, or with a therapist working with yourself and your child together. Parent/family support can make the biggest differences, as you are the child’s key attachment figure going through life with them.
We usually run our sessions in our two playrooms at St Anne’s House in Brislington.

“The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do- such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening - are also the best for child development.”
