My son Dan is providing the coffee…. And supporting a the BACP Parenting Grind movement encouraging parents to speak up about the stresses of being parents… I’m very proud that he has been able to support this and I encourage anyone who is struggling to just tell someone… sending love to whoever needs it x

This is my son… he is a parent of very young kids and understands the stresses …. If you are struggling as a new parent - or at any stage of parenting - don’t ever be afraid to ask for help and support…. It’s a tough job with no training. Love and hugs xx

One of the things I love most about Child-Centered Play Therapy is that it reminds me my job isn’t to change a child—it’s to truly know them, and that’s what help them make positive change happen in their life.

Dr. Garry Landreth, in the excerpt below, from his renowned book, Play Therapy, The Art of the Relationship - 4th Edition, explains that in Child-Centered Play Therapy, when children experience someone who is willing to understand their world without rushing to fix, direct, or judge, something meaningful begins to unfold. They discover that it’s safe to be themselves 💛

Children don't need another activity.
Another achievement.
Another night of "just one more thing."

They need rest.

Not just sleep — but deep, healing,
brain-and-body-resetting rest.

Because growing up in this world is
overstimulating, overwhelming, and exhausting.
And right now, too many children are running on empty —
functioning in a fog of sleep-deprivation
that no one is calling out loud enough.

So let's be the ones who do…

Cancel the extras.
Clear the schedule.
Eat dinner earlier.
Say no to late-night demands
that come at the cost of their health.

Prioritise their sleep.

Demonstrate it in your own life.
Make it non-negotiable.

Because rested kids cope better.
They learn better.
They behave better.
They feel better.

And because exhaustion isn't
a childhood rite of passage.
It's a warning sign. ❤️

🌼 Taking time for 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 and 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 brings huge benefits for you and your clients.

🌼 Although therapists recognise the importance of looking after themselves, we have a tendency to put the needs of others before our own. Our courses provide a space to 𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗛 and promote 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙-𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘.

🌼 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬 enables the natural healing we all have inside of us. Believe that you yourself and the kind space you create for yourself and your client through creative play is already enough.

When a child’s emotional brain takes over, logic and reason switch off — and connection becomes the bridge back to calm.

These phrases don’t fix the feeling; they regulate the brain behind it.
Save this as part of your calm-down toolkit and share with anyone who supports children through big emotions.

You can find more brain-based strategies like this in The Child Brain Toolkit — download from The Contented Child via link in comments or Linktree Store in Bio.

Welcome to 2026, and an offer of Therapy Opportunities for Children, Young People, and Families with Marbles Play & Creative Arts Therapy in West Sussex.

We are delighted to announce increased availability for our Play & Creative Arts Therapy sessions, Integrative Sandplay Therapy sessions, and Parent-Child Attachment Play opportunities.

These services are designed to provide meaningful support to children, young people, and families, helping everyone make the very best of the year ahead.

Play & Creative Arts Therapy offers a gentle yet profoundly effective approach for children and young people to express and process their feelings and experiences. Through the natural language of play—whether with toys, art materials, or creative storytelling—children are able to explore their inner world in a safe, supportive, and boundaried space.

Sessions are facilitated by experienced, empathetic, and highly qualified therapists who understand the unique needs of each child. This therapeutic method respects the child’s pace and individuality, providing an environment where emotions can be freely expressed and understood.

Integrative Sandplay Therapy invites children and young people (as well as parents/carers) to use sand and miniature figures to create symbolic representations of their thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal, creative process can be especially beneficial for those who find it difficult to articulate their emotions. The tactile nature of sandplay, combined with the freedom to create stories and worlds, encourages self-discovery and healing in a protected therapeutic setting.

Parent-Child Attachment Play is designed to nurture and strengthen the vital bond between parent/carer and child. Through guided play activities, families are supported in fostering secure attachments, building trust, and enhancing emotional communication. This approach not only benefits children’s emotional development but also empowers parents with practical tools for positive interaction and connection.

Why Choose These Therapies in 2026?

Emotional Resilience: Support children and young people in developing coping skills and resilience for challenges ahead.

Safe Expression: Offer a welcoming space for emotions to be explored and understood without judgement.

Family Connection: Strengthen family relationships and promote healthy attachment through shared experiences.

Qualified Support: Benefit from the expertise of therapists dedicated to the wellbeing of every individual.

With expanded session times available throughout 2026, families can more easily access the support they need. Whether you are seeking therapy for your child, wish to explore sandplay, or want to participate in attachment-based activities, we invite you to contact us and discover the difference these creative and relational therapies can make.

Make this year a time of growth, healing, and joyful connection. To enquire about session times or to book an initial consultation, please contact us directly. We, at Marbles Play & Creative Arts Therapy look forward to supporting you and your family in 2026 and beyond.
