Play Therapy Northumberland
Testimonials
Pupils with SEND, together with disadvantaged pupils, benefit from additional government funding. Funds are used well to support pupils who have additional social,emotional and mental health needs.
For example, pupils can share their worries and feelings with the play therapist who comes into school every week. This helps build pupils’ resilience and reduces their anxiety.

My son worked with Debbie as he was having difficulties with other children in his class and he was refusing to go to school. My son had low confidence and Debbie really helped him get it back up and after a few sessions he loved going to school.
Thanks Debbie for doing such a great job!

Debbie has been a 'Boon' for our school. The children have loved going & received so much from her 'purposeful play sessions'. I would recommend this therapy to every school.

Without really knowing how play therapy would work, we were thrilled with the results our child achieved with Debbie. I was hoping for a space our son could process some emotions he was finding difficult to cope with and this was more than facilitated . Debbie clearly understood our child and through time and play in a safe and calm environment she helped him deal with this. Debbie’s work with our son has made an enormous difference to all our lives.

Debbie worked with my eldest son during an extremely difficult time when he had just turned 9, my son was acting out at home and school. Debbie started working with him weekly for “special time” my son really looked forward to these sessions each week, and he would talk to me very animated about what he had built or painted. I started noticing positive changes in his behaviour, and that this was his outlet for all what he was feeling but unable to explain. His teachers commented that he seemed calmer and able to have discussions when he was upset and his attitude to learning was also improved. What my son gained from Debbie’s involvement was time, space, understanding and a place to explore his thoughts and troubles. He gained strategies that work for him and he was able to transition to middle school with ease. Debbie is friendly, approachable, non judgemental and above all she cares deeply for the emotional wellbeing of all the children she works with. We are very grateful for her help and support and have no hesitation in recommending her services.
