#WorldNurseryRhymeWeek
When a child brings a nursery rhyme into the #TherapeuticSpace — perhaps through song, movement or imaginative play — the therapist listens closely to what the rhyme might represent for that child.
It can open the door to imagination, communication and healing.

#WorldKindnessDay
When children experience kindness that is consistent and unconditional, they begin to believe in their own worth. They learn that the world can be safe, relationships can be trusted, and they can be themselves — just as they are.

#PlayTherapy allows children to process painful experiences at their own pace, in their own language — the language of play.
When we listen to children’s stories told through their play, we help them feel seen, valued, and understood. 💛

A #BAPT registered #PlayTherapist®️ supports children to explore their inner world through play — using toys, art, movement, and storytelling as their language.
Within the therapeutic relationship, play becomes more than imagination — it becomes communication, healing, and growth.

#PlayTherapy teaches us that connection, empathy, and attuned communication build trust and resilience. Let’s bring those same principles into our digital spaces — responding with curiosity, compassion, and care rather than criticism or comparison.

Children’s #play can often appear messy, chaotic or even confusing — but beneath it lies a profound process of communication and healing.
True therapeutic play isn’t about directing a child — it’s about trusting them to lead their own process, at their own pace. That’s where growth happens. 💛

Through #play, children make sense of their world. They explore, re-enact, and reimagine their lived experiences — transforming confusing or overwhelming moments into something they can manage, understand, and even master.

In #PlayTherapy, children communicate their inner worlds not through words, but through play — natural and safe. Much of this processing happens unconsciously. Through metaphor, imagination, and symbolic play, children can explore experiences that might be too overwhelming to face directly.

#Adoption can bring both love and belonging — and also complex layers of loss, change and identity for children and their families. Every adopted child carries a story, often marked by early experiences of separation, trauma or disrupted attachment.
