Play Therapy in Schools

With my background as a teacher and SENCo, I have a deep understanding of how schools operate and the challenges they face. I work closely with schools to provide the best possible support for pupils, collaborating effectively with a wide range of agencies.

​

I work directly with schools to provide play therapy sessions for children who may be struggling with emotional, behavioural, or social difficulties.

​

This service includes:

  • Weekly one-to-one play therapy sessions on-site

  • Liaison with SENCOs, pastoral staff, and class teachers

  • Regular progress reviews and outcome monitoring

  • Support for school staff around children’s emotional needs

​

Benefits for schools:

  • Early intervention to support mental health

  • Improved behaviour, focus, and emotional regulation

  • Stronger relationships with peers and staff

 

Alongside play therapy, I also offer training for school staff in areas such as trauma, SEND, and PSHE, helping to build knowledge, confidence, and practical skills.
