Tele-Play Therapy

As Covid Cases on the rise again and we are advised to limit contacts and stay at home as much as possible I am resuming online services. offering tele-parenting support and tele play therapy.

In these challenging times now more than ever our vulnerable children need support, in fact, most children will be feeling some sort of anxiety with the Covid-19 Pandemic. Thus I aim to respond to the needs of families and their children by offering emotional support through Tele-Play Therapy.

The need for social distancing and the curtailing of face to face direct contact has left many children without their regular Play Therapy Support. Tele-Play Therapy allows the Therapeutic support of Play Therapy to occur remotely.

Children, young people, and their families are faced with adjusting to the new "normal" in their lives. This can be upsetting and stressful for many of us, and for lots of children, it is a form of grief and loss, loss of the way their life was, loss of routine; school; friends; visiting grandparents; external activities and so much more. Children absorb what is going on around them and this can add to their fears, worries, and concerns.

Play is a child's natural way of communicating- regular play; art; music; puppets etc. This is no different in Tele-Play Therapy as the child plays out their thoughts, feelings, and worries through play and creativity. My role as a therapist is to attune to them, letting them know I am with you- although in a different way- I am here, I see you, I hear you, I understand, I care.

My goal in offering tele-support is to provide you and your child with the support that is needed according to your family's, your child's unique needs. I hope to provide an anchor and secure base for families to draw from and for the children too have a safe outlet to explore and express their thoughts., feelings and anxieties.
