Glenna Walker

I have my own private practice play therapy room and woodland setting where parents/carers can bring children for one to one play and creative arts therapy sessions. Referrals can be from parents, schools, social workers or other agencies for play therapy, assessments and reports.

My background is in teaching, both in this country and abroad, as well as working with a variety of groups such as the homeless, alcohol and drug issues, and mental health. I’m a qualified teacher and now work as a play therapist following the integrative holistic play therapy model, PTUK ethics and standards, after successfully completing the postgraduate certificate and diploma in play therapy.
For more information you can contact me info@asyouareplaytherapy.co.uk
I offer a free introductory meeting where we can meet and discuss.

I currently work with 4-13 year olds depending on needs and work with mental health issues such as anxiety, separation, loss, trauma, behaviours expressing other issues etc

I also go into schools for outreach play therapy sessions. Schools are able to purchase half or full days.

As well as indoor play therapy, I offer outdoor play therapy and bushcraft play therapy which are subject to individual needs.

I also offer Filial Therapy which is Parent-Child Play Therapy where the family as a whole would work together with me, the therapist, to help alleviate issues and learn play therapy skills themselves which builds relationships, bonds and strengthens attachments. Parents are respected as the experts of their children and work together is of a positive, empowering nature. I have completed the training with Tracie Faa-Thompson at Turn About Pegasus Northumberland, Family Enhancement and Play Therapy Centre Inc Rise VanFleet.”

I wish you well and hope to hear from you if I can be of any help.
