TEAM Multi Academy Trust - Play Therapy

Hi, I'm Kat and I will be joining the TEAM multi-academy trust this September, providing Play Therapy sessions for children.

 

I began my training to become a Play Therapist with Play Therapy UK (PTUK) in 2022 after many years of supporting children, young people and their families within schools and alternative provision settings, seeing first-hand the increasing need for therapeutic interventions for our children and young people.

 

 I am passionate about providing a safe and creative space for children to explore their thoughts and feelings using a child centred, integrative holistic approach.

 

During Play Therapy sessions children are able to choose from a variety of creative arts materials including sand play, arts and crafts, puppets, role play, dance, music and storytelling. It is often difficult for children to talk through their feelings and experiences; Play Therapy allows children to use their natural medium of expression – play – to work through challenges in a safe and creative way.

 

Alongside my work with the trust, I also work for a charity in Exeter, providing creative arts therapies for young people. More information on Play Therapy can be found at: https://playtherapy.org.uk. I am also happy to answer any questions that you may have.
