PLAY THERAPY

MY THERAPY SERVICE

I am a passionate Child Therapist specialising in supporting children and young people to achieve their full potential using play therapy.

I will facilitate an environment in which children can explore the connection between how they see themselves and how they operate in their environment.

PLAY THERAPY: MY Treatment Focus

Play therapy is a creative intervention that provides a child with a safe space to 'play out' what is happening for them in their worlds, rather than 'talk through their experiences'.

Play therapy is an effective therapy to help children modify their behaviours, clarify their self-concept, and build healthy relationships.

Children will have access to a variety of art materials, puppets, musical instruments, miniatures, and role play toys to give voice to their story.

PLAY THERAPY SUPPORTS CHILDREN, PARENTS AND CARERS

In Play Therapy, parents and carers are an important part of the therapy process and are essentially a co-therapist outside the playroom.

I can schedule separate parent/carer support sessions to provide strategies for you to use at home to compliment your child's therapy.

Hello,

thank you for taking the time to visit, my name is Jodie. I am a believer that it ‘takes a village’ and advocate for Play therapy as part of Allied Health Services for children of all ages. I appreciate the uniqueness in each person, whilst promoting the integration of strategies for parent-child relationships. I have experience providing emotional and behavioural support to a variety of individuals, particularly school aged children in the special school education setting. I have experience in facilitating groups for both adults and children/youth. I enjoy helping others to flourish in life and utilise a strength-based approach to support healing and hope.
