"Since having Play Therapy, K has had more regulated emotions and has been able to play with others her own age more positively. K struggled previously with this and was more isolated however since having the therapy this has all changed for the better and K is now thriving in both her placement and also in education.

Previously K struggled when she was not with her Mum due to her previous experiences however, as mentioned above regarding K’s emotions, this has all now changed and contact is more positive and is progressing.

Without Play Therapy, K would have struggled and would not have made the positive changes that she has today.

Thank you for all your help, it is appreciated."

“Annette has shown that she is an exceptionally professional and insightful Play Therapist. She has provided all professionals and carers involved with this young person an outline and guidance on the purpose of Play Therapy and at various points in the process also given updated progress reports which has been welcomed by all involved. She has chaired meetings and delivered reviews in an ethical and responsible manner maintaining all of the young person’s confidences, yet allowing carers and professionals to question and express their observations and concerns. I am sure that Annette has improved this young person’s ability to manage his emotions better as a result of the fabulous work she has done with him”
