As a person-centred Play Therapist I accept every child as they are, meeting them at their unique developmental level. If difficult things have happened to a child, and they're feeling anxious and unhappy, then play therapy could be a gentle way to overcome this. Gradually, most children I work with start to feel more empowered, and grow in self-awareness. The therapeutic space between me and my clients, also the very young ones, is confidential and safe. Children will feel relaxed enough to play what they cannot say; over time they will process their feelings, and play their way to feeling better.
Play Therapy is a child-led form of psychotherapy. I offer connection, empathy, playfulness and understanding within a therapeutic setting in Skipton. Teletherapy (online sessions) are an option too if required. I am also available to coach parents in growing their bond with their children, in a therapeutic way.
If you would like to find out if Play Therapy might suit your child and their needs and challenges, feel free to reach out. I offer a free 15 min introductory call. Please give me a call, or fill in a contact form on my website and I will get back to you. I very much look forward to hearing from you soon. Warmly, Patricia

At the core of my Play Therapy Practice is the full acceptance of the person I am with: I am person-centred, and the therapy is child (or adult) - led. An initial parent interview will help determine your child and family's challenges, and we will establish the outcomes we would like to see. A course of 12-20 play therapy sessions is the norm, but this could be longer (or shorter) if required.
