Transforming Play
Play Therapy sessions generally run for 50 minutes.
Please arrive on time as sessions cannot be extended. If you are running up to 15 minutes late your child is still welcome for the session but it will finish at the usual time. It is also important that you pick your child up on time so the therapist has time to clean up the play room & prepare for the next child.
If your child can't make it for a session please give the therapist a minimum of 24 hours notice.
Play Therapy Sessions
The Play Therapist is Catherine. She is a qualified Early Childhood teacher with over 20 years teaching experience in Australia, Kenya and Rwanda. She became interested in Play Therapy after she began teaching children in Out of Home (Foster) Care & realised that her students needed more support than she could offer as a teacher. To date she has completed more than 900 practice hours of Play Therapy in both school settings and in private practice.
She holds a Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood) from Charles Sturt University (Australia), a Postgraduate Diploma in Practice Based Play Therapy (with Distinction) from Canterbury Christ Church University (UK), and is currently completing study for a qualification in Psychology, also through Charles Sturt University.
Catherine is a member of Play Therapy International (PTI), a provisional member of an APPTA (Australasia Pacific Play Therapy Association) and an international member of A4PT (Association for Play Therapy).
