Our child loves coming to their sessions with Cherie each week!
The warm and inviting atmosphere at Connected Play Therapy set her at ease from day one, which was very unexpected as she would normally take some time to warm up to someone new.
Cherie has been a valuable wealth of knowledge sharing resources, was as parents are able to use at home to support our child as well. We would highly recommend Connected Play Therapy and to Cherie for anyone considering it
