Being a child or a young person growing up can be difficult and stressful at times.  It can leave children feeling confused and upset at times because they have experienced difficult and upsetting events.   These experiences can cause both emotional and behavioural challenges which have a negative impact on them and those around them.   

If you are worried about a child or a young person then meeting with a professional who can help them explore their emotional world through play and creativity.   

Through the work of play and creativity children can learn about themselves, what matters to them, and the world around them.  This process brings positive and healthy change so the child or young person can learn to thrive.

'Play Therapy is a mode of therapy that helps children to explore their feelings, to express themselves and make sense of their world.  Recovery from difficult life experiences can be facilitated by a Play Therapist allowing a child freedom of expression in a safe and trusting environment.'

In Sarah's purpose-built therapy room, the child can play with a variety of toys to aid their healing process: sand, puppets, masks, art and craft materials, stories, sensory processing toys, paints, and clay,  are just some of the media available.
