Penelope Oliver

Penelope is a fully trained Trauma Informed Practitioner and Certified Play Therapist. She is able to view experiences through a trauma lens with a focus on building a strong relationship with child and parent in order to listen to and empathise with their story. Penelope has many years of experience working with children and families for a range of different reasons including anxiety, bereavement, behaviour challenges, family breakdown and friendship issues as well as those who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences and/or trauma.
Penelope works closely with parents/carers along the therapeutic journey in order to offer a joined up, supportive approach for both the child and family. She can also work with other professionals involved with the family, liaise with school and attend Team around the Family meetings if required.
Penelope has recently completed a training programme gaining insight into the Synergetic Play Therapy technique created by Lisa Dion. This training focuses on the neuroscience behind what is happening in the play therapy process, how to repattern a child’s nervous system, and what it means to become an external regulator in the playroom.
