At Wise Owl Play Therapy, I provide a warm, safe and accepting space where children can express themselves in the way that feels most natural to them. When experiences or emotions are difficult to put into words, play can offer another way for children to communicate and make sense of what is happening in their world.
Sessions may include imaginative play, sand, puppets, figures, storytelling, art, clay, music and movement. I follow the child’s lead, allowing them to choose what feels right for them and explore at their own pace, without pressure to explain or find the “right” words.

Parent or carer
“My son recently had sports day, he was a completely different child , he was excited about it and would normally be disappointed in himself saying he should do better but instead he was just happy to be taking part. He has come such a long way”
School professional
“He is beginning to recognise when he feels angry and is taking time to calm himself. During the residential he showed resilience, determination and lovely self‑management — taking a brief moment to reset before rejoining the group and continuing positively.”
Child themselves
"Ruth is a really lovely lady and I like her"
