How Connected Play can Help

At Connected Play, we believe in the power of connection, play, and family to support emotional growth and healing. Our services are designed to nurture the wellbeing of children and empower the adults who care for them.

Whether you’re seeking support for your child, guidance as a parent, or opportunities to deepen your understanding, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.

Our Services

Play Therapy

Individual, child centred play therapy

Play is a child’s natural language and play therapy gives them the tools to express what they might not yet be able to say in words. In a safe, supportive environment, children are able to explore feelings, resolve challenges, and build confidence through therapeutic play.

Our trained play therapists work with children experiencing anxiety, trauma, behavioural difficulties, grief, and other emotional struggles.

Parent Help

One off support, or ongoing supports

Parenting can be challenging, especially when your child is struggling. We’re here to support you with practical tools and emotional guidance tailored to your family’s unique needs.

Whether you’re navigating behavioural issues, developmental concerns, or simply looking to strengthen your bond with your child, we provide a calm, compassionate space where you can find clarity and support.

Workshops

Group based, evening workshops

Our workshops are designed for parents, caregivers, and professionals who want to deepen their understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and therapeutic approaches.

Through hands-on activities, expert guidance, and real-life strategies, participants leave our workshops feeling more empowered and informed.

Filial Therapy

Strengthening family bonds through play

Filial Therapy is a unique approach that actively involves parents in the therapeutic process. Guided by a trained therapist, parents learn how to conduct special play sessions with their child at home, strengthening relationships, improving communication, and promoting healing.

This evidence-based approach can be especially effective for families navigating emotional or behavioural challenges.

Sandplay Therapy

Gentle Healing Through Sand and Play

Sandplay Therapy is primarily a non-directive, creative form of therapy using a sand tray, miniature figurines and objects, to create miniature worlds that reflect an individual’s inner thoughts, struggles, and concerns. This allows for emotional expression and processing in a safe, non judgemental environment as individuals express their inner world through the creation of scenes in the sand.
 
Our therapeutic method is rooted in Jungian psychology where the sand provides access and exploration of the deep unconscious levels of the psyche and facilitates healing by allowing the psyche to express itself symbolically.
