🎓🏆 A MILESTONE WORTH CELEBRATING! ✨❤️
Some moments remind us why we started, how far we have come, and why we must keep going.
I am delighted and deeply grateful to celebrate the completion of my MA in Creative Psychotherapy & Play Therapy and to have received the Special Recognition Award for Practice Excellence from the Children’s Therapy Centre (CTC). 🎓🏆
These achievements mean so much to me because this journey has been about more than obtaining a qualification. It has been about growth, self-reflection, perseverance and deepening my commitment to the emotional well-being of children and young people.
Balancing motherhood, professional responsibilities, running my practice and postgraduate studies has certainly had its challenges. There have been demanding days, sacrifices and moments when I had to dig deep. But every step has reinforced my belief in the importance of this work and the difference we can make when children are given the space to be heard, understood and accepted.
Receiving the Special Recognition Award for Practice Excellence is particularly meaningful. It is an honour to have my practice recognised, and it encourages me to continue learning, growing and striving to offer children and families the best possible support.
My work as a play therapist is rooted in the belief that children communicate in many ways, and sometimes play gives expression to what words cannot. Through relationships, creativity, safety and connection, children can discover their own capacity for growth and healing.
I am grateful to the Children’s Therapy Centre, my tutors, supervisors, colleagues, family and everyone who has supported me throughout this journey.
As I celebrate this chapter, I am reminded that this is not the finish line. It is another step in a journey of learning, service and advocacy for children's emotional well-being.
Here’s to continuing to make a difference, one child, one relationship and one moment of connection at a time. ❤️🌱
We trust the process.
Playfully yours,
