Play Therapy for Children

£60 for the therapeutic hour (50 mins)

Play therapy provides children with a natural way to express their feelings and work through challenges. Using toys, games, and creative activities, children can explore difficult emotions in a safe, supportive environment.

This approach is particularly effective for children who may struggle to articulate their feelings verbally, helping them develop emotional resilience and coping strategies.

Talking Therapy Online or In-Person

£60 for the therapeutic hour (50 mins)

Individual therapy sessions designed to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a confidential, non-judgmental space. Whether online or in-person, sessions are tailored to your unique needs.

Together, we'll work to understand patterns, develop coping strategies, and support your journey toward greater self-awareness and emotional well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect in my first session?

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you might have. We'll discuss confidentiality, how therapy works, and answer any questions you have. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with.

How long are therapy sessions?

Each therapy session lasts 50 minutes (the therapeutic hour). This gives us enough time to explore your thoughts and feelings while maintaining healthy boundaries. Sessions are scheduled weekly, though frequency can be adjusted based on your individual needs.

Is everything I say confidential?

Yes, everything discussed in our sessions is strictly confidential. I follow professional guidelines that protect your privacy. The only exceptions would be if there's a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, which I would discuss with you first whenever possible.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies for each person and depends on your individual goals and circumstances. Some people find benefit in just a few sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. We'll regularly review your progress together and you're free to end therapy whenever you feel ready.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes, I offer both in-person sessions in Colchester and secure online sessions via video call. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions and offers flexibility for those with busy schedules or who prefer the comfort of their own space.

What's the difference between play therapy and talking therapy?

Play therapy is designed specifically for children and uses toys, games, and creative activities as the primary way of communication. Children often express themselves more naturally through play than words. Talking therapy for adults and teenagers focuses on verbal communication to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you're struggling with your mental health, feeling stuck, or want to understand yourself better, therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. It's a space for personal growth, developing coping strategies, and improving your overall well-being.

What if I don't know what to talk about?

That's completely normal and absolutely fine. I'm here to help guide our conversations and create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Many people worry about this, but you'll find that once we start talking, things naturally emerge.
