About us
Gestalt play therapy is the main mode of therapeutic assistance offered by this practice. Play therapy is a non-threatening intervention, which offers children a chance to resolve challenges or trauma via their natural mode of communication – play. In Gestalt play therapy, the therapeutic relationship is the main therapeutic tool – a warm, supportive and nurturing relationship between therapist and child supports children’s growth and resilience throughout the process. In this way, children are supported to become aware of troubling thoughts, behaviours, or situations, and can work towards positive change and growth. I include parents in interventions as far as possible with regular feedback, as I believe them to be the experts on their children, with the capacity to make the biggest difference in their lives.
