Information for Schools:

​

​

Play Therapy in a school setting requires a consistent private space where the child can have Play Therapy sessions at the same time and on the same day each week.

​

I work closely with schools, adhering to school policies and procedures. 

​

Good communication and regular reviews with parents and school staff are essential to both support a child and to identify any difficulties they may have.

​

The British Association of Play Therapists (2004) highlights the following benefits of Play Therapy interventions in a school setting:

​

            “Play Therapy in schools can also:

1. Help children to build healthier relationships with teaching staff and peers;

2. Reduce emotional, behavioural and social obstacles to learning;

3. Improve adaptation in the classroom;

4. Enhance communication skills and emotional literacy;

5. Address the needs of at-risk children;

6. Support and advise teaching staff.”
