“Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child’s natural medium of self-expression.  It is an opportunity which is given to the child to ‘play out’ feelings and problems just as, in certain types of adult therapy, an individual can ‘talk out’ his difficulties” – Virginia Axline​

 

Ciara has over 20 years experience working with children as a Pre-school / Montessori owner and teacher.  In this time, she has seen struggles, difficulties and challenges that can arise for children.  As a result of this she decided to train as a Play Therapist. Play Therapy is recognised as one of the most effective therapies for children.

​
