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 two therapy rooms based in St Anne’s House, Brislington that we work from, as well as travelling to school 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.
