amanda woodhall
I am a Certified Play Therapist and a registered member of both Play Therapy U.K (PTUK) and The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) based in West Sussex. My background is in Psychology and Education, training originally as a teacher and Provisional Psychologist. I originally worked and supported students in schools with learning difficulties and behavioural issues in both Australia and the U.K, before going on to complete my honours year in psychology. Following this I then worked in adult community mental health, treating adults with severe and complex mental health disorders. This experience led me to my current passion of working with children and focussing on early intervention, helping children to avoid the adult mental health issues of the adults I had previously worked with and treated. I began training with Play Therapy U.K in 2018, completing my training in 2020. Since then I have worked within schools and I also have a private practice in Forest Row, East Sussex.
I work in a client-led, creative way helping children to process their challenges through the use of creative resources and play-based activities. Sessions are weekly, lasting 45 minutes/session. I work with children aged from 3 to 13 years. I am inspired by all the children I work with and provide a safe, non-judgemental space in which to process their feelings.
