Can Children Play Too?

We believe children are important

Too important to be merely included in our workshops.

As a trained Play Therapist Mica has many years experience* working with children, helping them through difficult times in their lives.

She does not provide "open groups" for children. However, if you have a child or small group of children you'd like her to consider working with please get in touch (use the form below) to discuss this.

Often, if something difficult is happening in a family it's the children's behaviour that suffers. This is a symptom of the issue.

Your child may be grouchy or withdrawn or do something out of character.

This does not necessarily mean that therapy is the best route.

Sometimes, an open and honest discussion between the adult(s) involved and Mica will sort things out. Often, a few sessions to follow up, support and check in are required.

Mica can help with behaviour management too.

Play is the natural way for children to communicate and sometimes, when it's hard to put their feelings into words, a few play sessions can help children enormously.

If something is happening in your family that you feel your child may be struggling with, contact Mica using this form to have a chat and discover the best way forward.
