Kirsty Reynolds
Play Therapy with Kirsty Reynolds I offer play therapy in beautiful, nurturing and purposefully designed therapy rooms at Tend Collective CIC (Carrow House) in Norwich.
Are you worried about a child? Perhaps they are anxious, acting out, or are struggling to express themselves. Play therapy helps children who are struggling with their thoughts, feelings or behaviours. In play therapy, I use play and creative art materials to support children to understand how they are feeling and to express themselves in their own way, without necessarily needing to talk about their difficulties. Children might not have the words to explain why they behave the way they do, or they might find it difficult to understand and talk about their feelings.
In play therapy, I offer other ways of self-expression for children aged 4 to 11 years, such as drawing, painting, clay, sand tray and miniatures, puppets, drama, music and stories. Using metaphor in play and creative art can help it feel safer and less intense for children to explore their experiences and struggles.
I’m also able to offer attachment-based play therapies that include the caregiver(s) in the therapy. These approaches aim to strengthen and build on the child’s relationship with their caregiver and support the caregiver to feel confident in how to respond therapeutically, and have been shown to be effective in promoting children’s emotional health.
