Up to an hour together. You'll meet Caroline, see the playroom, and share your child's history in a confidential, unhurried space.
40-minute sessions on a consistent day and time, consistency helps your child feel safe and held.
At around week 9 or 10 we meet again to reflect on progress and decide together what's next.
Endings are prepared for gently, we honour the work your child has done and plan for closure, or extension if needed.
If helpful, a written report can be provided at the end of therapy (not for school or court use).

Your support is essential to the play therapy process. Here are some gentle guidelines that make a real difference.
Please do your best to attend every session, consistency is at the heart of the work.
Avoid asking your child to tell you about the session, they may not be able to put the play into words, and it's theirs.
Don't worry about behaving well, or tell them to be "good." Play therapy is where the whole of who they are is welcome.
It's best not to suggest what your child should talk about. If there's something you'd like the therapist to know, share it separately.
Behaviour sometimes gets harder before it gets easier as suppressed emotions surface. This doesn't mean it isn't working.
Do tell me if you have concerns or questions, I may be able to offer strategies to help through difficult times.
It's ok to have more than one feeling at once.
