Play Therapy
Play Therapy is a specialised form of therapy that helps children express and process difficult thoughts and emotions through play, rather than relying solely on words. For many children, play is their natural language - offering a safe, familiar way to explore what they are thinking, feeling, or experiencing.
Using creative tools such as art, sand trays, clay, puppets, and movement, children can communicate what may be too complex, confusing, or overwhelming to articulate verbally.
Play Therapy allows children to “play out” what they struggle to say, helping them build emotional awareness, self-regulation, and resilience.
Therapeutic Life Story Work (Rose Model)
Therapeutic Life Story Work (TLSW) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps children, young people, and adults make sense of their past experiences, particularly those involving trauma, loss, or separation.
The model supports individuals in understanding their personal histories and hopefully facilitates their ability to build stronger, healthier relationships in the present.
The Rose Model of Therapeutic Life Story Work is the first model of its kind to be independently researched and validated. Studies show it achieves powerful outcomes for people with complex needs, including those who have experienced foster care, adoption, or disrupted family relationships.
Theraplay
Theraplay uses attachment based play, which utilises a relationship-based approach.
It helps children feel more connected, confident, and secure by using games, nurturing activities, and shared moments of joy,
Theraplay supports emotional regulation and builds trust between the child and their caregiver. It is especially helpful for children who have experienced early trauma, attachment difficulties, or struggles with emotional connection.
Sessions are strengths-based, interactive, and tailored to meet each child’s unique needs.
Group Play Therapy
Group Play Therapy offers children a safe, supportive space to explore their feelings and experiences alongside others who are facing similar challenges.
In a small (two to four children), carefully matched group, children can learn from one another, build empathy, and develop social and emotional skills through shared play.
Being with peers who understand helps reduce feelings of isolation and encourages children to relate more effectively, try out new ways of being, and experience connection in a therapeutic setting.
Group therapy utilises more directive methods and activities, which are tailored to meet the developmental and emotional needs of the group.
Group Theraplay
Group Theraplay is a playful, interactive group experience designed to strengthen the bond between children and their caregivers, with a clear therapeutic focus on building secure attachment, emotional regulation, and trust.
Suitable for children aged 0–18, sessions are structured yet nurturing, using fun, engaging activities to support connection, confidence, and shared joy. Groups should contain children who are at a similar developmental stage as activities will be adapted accordingly.
Whether in small or larger groups, Group Theraplay offers a warm, supportive environment where parents or carers can be with their child in a purposeful way—learning new ways to engage while also connecting with other families. It’s a chance not only for therapeutic growth but also for building community, reducing isolation, and sharing experiences in a safe, welcoming space.
