Creative Play therapy for Children

Creative Rumpus is available to work in schools, via parent/carer referrals, school referrals or social service agencies referrals.

Children often find talking about their problems very difficult, by using play therapy the child can communicate in their natural medium and language: Play.

Play therapy helps children understand and process their feelings and past experiences

Creative Rumpus works in a non-directive and child-lead way, allowing each child to use the safe space in their own way, at their own pace.

Art materials, musical instruments, puppets, dressing up items and many toys are available so that a child can explore and express their thoughts and feelings.

Creative Rumpus provides a warm, safe and secure environment.

Observations and reflections are shared with the child - thus providing support and encouragement enabling each child to gain an awareness of their emotions and sense of self. Creative Rumpus aims to support and encourage every child to learn more about themselves and offer containment for their intense emotional needs and their concerns.

If children are given this opportunity to explore their emotions or memories they can develop a stronger understanding of self, and a better understanding of their world around them. Play therapy empowers children to cope with problems in their lives and increase their self esteem.

Testimonials

I have worked with many children, parents/carers and teachers. This is what they had to say about their experience.

  • “For a number of children in our school the benefits of Play Therapy have been enormous. Cheryl has been fantastic in her support and work with the children, their families and the school. Every child should have access to Play Therapy and should have access to their own Cheryl.”
