I am making time to do things that bring me joy as we move into Autumn. Within my work I hold space for vulnerable individuals and families and I can only do that to my best ability if I am caring for myself.

What do you do to take of yourself?

100 clinical hours completed.

This milestone feels much bigger than a number.

Over the past year, I have had the privilege of sitting alongside children as they have explored their worlds through play. I have witnessed courage, creativity, grief, joy, frustration, healing and growth. Each child has reminded me that play is their language, and that feeling truly heard can be transformative.

As this chapter comes to an end, I have found myself reflecting on the importance of endings. In therapy, endings matter. They give us the opportunity to acknowledge change, celebrate progress, process feelings of loss, and recognise the strength that has developed along the way. A thoughtful ending creates space for a hopeful new beginning.

It feels fitting that this milestone comes at the end of the academic year too. Schools are closing their doors for the summer, children are saying goodbye to teachers, friends and familiar routines, while others prepare for exciting new chapters ahead. Endings can bring excitement, sadness, uncertainty and pride,all at the same time.

I am incredibly grateful to every child and family who has trusted me to be part of their journey, and to everyone who has supported me throughout my training. Reaching 100 clinical hours is a significant step towards qualifying as a Play Therapist, and I am excited for what comes next.

Here’s to recognising how far we’ve come, honouring endings, and embracing new beginnings.

When children are given the freedom to explore, create and talk about what they notice, maths becomes something they experience rather than memorise. Today we explored polygons through play, investigation and curiosity, giving children the opportunity to discover the properties of different shapes in a way that felt meaningful to them.

Child-led learning doesn’t mean learning without purpose. It means following children’s interests, asking thoughtful questions, and creating opportunities for them to build a deeper understanding at their own pace.

Some of the richest learning happens when children are given the time and space to think.

Receiving messages like this is one of the best parts of what I do. Behind every review is a child who has worked incredibly hard and a family who has been looking for the right support. Every child deserves to feel capable, understood and successful and sometimes all they need is an approach that world with them, rather than expecting them to fit into a particular way of learning. Thank you to this lovely parent for trusting me to be a part of their child’s journey.

I love weaving in age appropriate learning into my sessions. I do this by getting to know the young people I work with and find out what makes them tick. Creativity and play are always featured in my tutoring sessions.

I am getting bookings for September which is a really great time to look back at the Summers school report and work on those areas of learning that may need extra support in your child’s new year group.

You can contact me via my website which is in my bio or drop me a message on here or over on my page.

You know your child is struggling. The meltdowns seem to come from nowhere or they are seeming more with drawn. You’ve been told behaviour is a form of communication but this isn’t providing the support you need. You and your family are finding it hard to cope with everyday situations. Children don’t often have the words to express their feelings. Which is why we offer safe spaces for children to communicate their feelings through play. Through play children can begin to build emotional resilience, improve self-esteem, develop emotional regulation skills and feel more understood.

If you’re worried about your child’s emotional wellbeing and would like to learn more about therapeutic play, I’d be happy to have a conversation.

Head over to my website in my bio where you will find a little more about me and what I do.

I used to run a nursery. It was one of my all time favourite roles. I introduced loose parts and real life objects and attended training with the wonderful Anna Ephgrave. I embedded planning in the moment and the children were always engaged. Early years will always have my heart.

All children have particular interests and one of my favourite part of my jobs is listening and finding out about the young people I work with. This then gives me dirás of how to plan the sessions. I often get asked to support with maths because that is the area children loose confidence, my role is to build that confidence back up.
