About Healing Hearts Play Therapy
Healing Hearts Play Therapy offers play therapy for children working through big feelings, worries and behaviour changes. Using warm, child-led play, the service helps young people process their experiences and develop emotional resilience.
The approach is tailored to each child's needs, beginning with a consultation with parents or carers to explore concerns and understand the child's developmental history. Sessions may include parent or carer involvement, designed to strengthen relationships between children and caregivers through relational play, co-regulation and guided interaction. The service also offers observation in home and school environments to explore attachment dynamics and relational patterns, as well as emotional and behavioural presentations.
Healing Hearts Play Therapy works directly with schools, SENCOs and pastoral teams, providing SEMH consultation, assessment and practical strategies for children who need extra support in the classroom. The practice is accredited by the Register of Play and Creative Arts Therapists (Professional Standards Authority) and is a member of Play Therapy UK.
This service is for families seeking specialist support to help children navigate emotional and behavioural challenges, and for schools looking for expert consultation on social, emotional and mental health needs.
