Welcome to The Play Pod

The name "The Play Pod" was devised by two key concepts.

"Play" is a natural way for children to communicate their thoughts and feelings, which is central to the therapeutic approach in Play Therapy. It signifies a space where healing occurs through playful interaction, with a highly qualified Play Therapist. 

"Pod" suggests a small, enclosed space that is portable and safe, evoking a sense of containment. It implies a mobile therapeutic environment where individuals can feel secure while engaging in healing activities.

Together, "The Play Pod" effectively conveys the essence of a portable, playful healing space designed for creative art therapeutic purposes.

Frequently asked questions 

How is play therapy different from other therapies?

Using play means that the child can explore their thoughts and feelings in creative and dynamic ways, without having to use words to articulate themselves. In Play Therapy sessions, children explore their own creativity and express themselves using media such as: drawing and painting, water and clay, sand tray and miniatures, guided imagery and relaxation techniques, drama and puppetry, poetry, movement and music.

Where do sessions take place?

School referral play therapy takes place in the child's school during the school day.

Private practice sessions will be available when The Play Pod becomes more portable.

How long do sessions last and cost?

Sessions run between 30-40 minutes. 

In school therapy sessions usually run for 12 weeks for one-to-one sessions.

Private client sessions run between 8 to 12 one-to-one sessions

In both cases more sessions can be added depending on the child's needs and therapeutic interventions.

Please contact me for more pricing. 

Do I find out what my child does in a session?

Due to the sensitive nature of the clients process no explanation is communicated unless there is a safeguarding concern. Mid review at week 8 explores therapeutic themes and offers a way to become curious about how the child is at home and school. An end report is completed at the end of the sessions that outlines aims, SDQ analysis and recommendations

"I really appreciate your help and guidance for my daughter. She wasn't struggling a lot to get to school on session days as she knew she will meet you. Thank you for your time with her."
