✨ NEW STICKERS ✨

Charly has updated merch…….because sometimes a small sticker (and a very cute dog!) can make therapy feel that little bit more special. 🐾

Our rooms have welcomed some new bags of air! 🌈

The old ones have been loved, climbed on, squished, explored, and enjoyed through so many moments of creativity, connection, and play. They have held space for big emotions, joyful experiences, and countless adventures.

As we say goodbye to the well-loved old bags, we’re making room for new opportunities, new stories, and new ways for children to explore, regulate, and engage through play. 💛💜

📚 New at Our Practice: Parent & Child Library Loan! 💛

We’re excited to introduce our Parent & Child Library, a growing collection of books that families can borrow to enjoy between sessions.

Our library includes:
🧠 Books that help children understand how their brains work
🌈 Child-friendly resources about ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence
💛 Stories that explore emotions, anxiety, friendships, and resilience
👨‍👩‍👧 Parent resources to build understanding and support at home
📖 Therapeutic storybooks that complement the work we do in sessions

These books have been carefully selected to encourage curiosity, reduce stigma, celebrate differences, and help children and families develop a shared understanding of emotions, behaviours, and unique ways of experiencing the world.

Borrowing is simple:
✔️ Choose a book before or after your session.
✔️ Take it home to read together.
✔️ Return it at your next appointment so another family can enjoy it.

We believe learning together creates opportunities for meaningful conversations, strengthens connection, and helps therapeutic growth continue beyond the playroom.

We’re looking forward to sharing these wonderful resources with your family! 💙📚

🎉 Happy Birthday Sherrie 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Sherrie. She’s the one who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes; our incredible admin superstar! 🥳

The do’er, the fixer-upper, the organiser, the problem-solver, and the person who somehow always knows exactly where everything is and how to get things done. From juggling schedules and keeping us on track to finding solutions before we even realise there’s a problem, she is truly the brains behind all things admin.

Her dedication, efficiency, and unwavering support make an enormous difference to our team, our families, and the children we work with every day. We are so grateful for everything she does and the positivity she brings to the workplace.

Please join us in wishing her the happiest of birthdays and a year filled with all the joy, laughter, and appreciation she deserves! 🎂🎈✨

🌏 International Day of Play 2026 🌏
Protect Play, Protect Childhood

Children don’t need every moment scheduled, structured, or focused on achievement. They need opportunities to play.

Play is where children explore, create, connect, take risks, solve problems, and work through life’s experiences. It is a natural and essential part of childhood.

Today, we celebrate the importance of giving children the time, space, and freedom to be children.

Protect play. Protect childhood.

💚 What is your favourite childhood play memory?

Building stronger connections, one session at a time.

Today, we began a 10-week Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) program with families committed to strengthening their relationships through the power of play.

CPRT supports parents and caregivers to develop therapeutic play skills that help children feel seen, heard, and understood. Through weekly sessions, families learn practical ways to build trust, improve communication, support emotional expression, and deepen their connection.

It is a privilege to walk alongside parents as they discover the incredible impact of intentional play and relationship-focused parenting.

We look forward to seeing the growth, confidence, and connection that unfolds over the coming weeks. 💛
