Emma Summers

Located in the beautiful county of Somerset, I am a certified play therapist offering individual therapy for children aged 4 to 11, and play and creative arts therapy for young people aged 11 to 18. My approach is grounded in empathy, creativity, and evidence-based practice, supporting children and adolescents to explore their feelings, overcome challenges, and build emotional resilience.
With a background in education across both mainstream and specialist settings, including seven years at a local Pupil Referral Unit (PRU), I bring a deep understanding of the diverse needs of children and young people. I have supported clients with a wide range of emotional and developmental needs, including anxiety, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sensory processing differences, global developmental delay, behavioural challenges, attachment difficulties, and trauma.
I am passionate about helping children and young people thrive. In my sessions, clients are invited to use a variety of toys and creative materials—including art, sand, puppetry, and role play—to safely express thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words. Play and creative arts therapy is a proven intervention: Between 77% and 84% of children show a positive change when therapy is delivered to PTUK standards. The more severe the issue, the higher the percentage of positive change (PTUK).
I offer private sessions in a warm, welcoming and well-equipped therapy room in Queen Camel, near Yeovil (just off the A303). My space is designed to feel safe and nurturing, allowing children and young people to engage at their own pace.
If you’d like to find out more or discuss whether therapy might be right for your child, I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation. Please email me at emma.baytreetherapies@gmail.com.
