ONE TO ONE PLAY THERAPY
Play sessions will be of 35-45 minutes
duration dependent on the age of the child.
​
For individual children, based on their SDQ score, the number of sessions offered can be a short term intervention ( 12 sessions) responding to a particular issue or trauma - or a long term intervention (12+ sessions) for higher scores if felt to be appropriate.
​
SDQs completed by parent, child and teacher are monitored at the beginning, middle and prior to the ending of the process.
​
​
Sessions are held at
The Space @ Shiregreen
A confidential space for both play and sandplay based in Sheffield S5
What is play and creative arts therapy and how does it work?
​
-
Sometimes it is hard to put into words what makes us anxious or concerned
-
Neuroscience has shown that the brain is able to create new ways of thinking and being when creative playful activities are involved.
-
this is especially true for children who don’t have the words to explain
-
but they can play, play can be described as a child’s first language
-
symbols and sand can particularly help people to find new ways of being
-
change happens when there is an open and accepting relationship
-
therapy offers an opportunity for that sort of relationship in a safe and confidential space
