Hello, I'm Penny. I am an accredited BAPT Play Therapist based in Sevenoaks. I somehow (!) have over 15 years of experience working with children and families, often during the most vulnerable times in their lives. Before training as a Play Therapist, I worked as a Social Worker — a job I adored. However, I often wished I had more opportunities to truly sit alongside the children I supported and be part of their healing journeys. That’s exactly what I believe play therapy offers. Play therapy isn’t something you do — it’s a way of being. I wholeheartedly believe in its power and the positive impact it can have on all children.
I work in a child-centred way, which means children are in charge of their sessions: they choose how to play and what to explore. My role isn’t to “fix” children, but to create a safe, contained space where they can express how they feel without judgement and begin to make sense of their world and experiences.
If you’re wondering whether play therapy might be right for your child, I’d be happy to talk. You’re welcome to schedule a free consultation or reach out with any questions — I’m here to help.

Each session is led by your child. They choose the toys and materials they'd like to use and decide how they want to play with them. My role is to be alongside your child as they play — to notice, support, and make sense of what they are expressing through their play. I provide a safe and accepting space where your child feels understood and valued.
