Skittles Play Therapy

"Play Therapy is based upon the
fact that play is the child's
natural medium of
self-expression"

- Virginia Axline

Welcome to

Our mission is to provide a safe and confidential Play Therapy space for children and young people. By working with parents/guardians we strive to improve outcomes for children and families. We also work in schools to support children in the school community.

Play is the natural language of the child and through play we can help with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Play Therapy can help children and young people to explore their feelings, to gain self-awareness and to develop resilience to life’s challenges. Children and young people are not required to talk through their experiences, but rather they use play and creativity to explore what is happening for them.

Who is Play Therapy for:

Any child can benefit from Play Therapy and we can work with children from 4 years old up to early teens. Play Therapy can help your child/young person to make sense of the world, to reach their potential and to develop greater resilience and emotional intelligence. It can help children with challenges such as:

ADHD
ASD
Anger management
Anxiety

Behaviour difficulties
Bereavement and loss
Bullying/being bullied
Emotional problems

Fostered/adopted
Illness
Lack of confidence
Low self-esteem

Sadness or depression
Separation/divorce

It was lovely to work with Ann and she supported us through the process while my daughter attended play therapy. We highly recommend her service.

We saw big changes in our son’s confidence and general well being while he attended Play Therapy with Ann. It was a good decision for our family.

Ann Spellman is the best play therapist we’ve ever worked with. I love her approach and the progress we’re making.
