Our services
At Nest & Nurture Play Therapy, we believe in the healing power of play and the importance of nurturing safe, supportive relationships for every child’s growth. We understand that, sometimes, children don’t have the words to explain their feelings, but they can express themselves through play.
We offer a range of play therapy services to meet your child’s and family’s unique needs. Reach out to us today to schedule a time to discuss how we can support you.
Humanistic Play Therapy
Humanistic Play Therapy offers a safe and supportive space where your child gets to take the lead. Through play, which is their natural way of communicating, your child can express their feelings, work through challenges, and discover healing.
Rather than concentrating solely on conversation, we meet your child right where they are, allowing them to explore important emotions, build resilience, and develop coping skills at their own pace.
This approach is particularly helpful for children facing anxiety, trauma, behavioural challenges, or developmental differences. With gentle guidance and a nurturing environment, your child is given the perfect space to grow, heal, and thrive.
Filial Therapy
Filial Therapy is a unique approach that combines play therapy and family therapy, enabling parents to become active partners in their child’s healing process.
With guidance and support, parents learn to employ child-centred play techniques to strengthen connections, enhance communication, and create a safe space for emotional expression.
Filial Therapy not only fosters resilience in children but also equips parents with enduring skills to support their children's growth and well-being.
Learn to Play Therapy
Learn to Play Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps children aged 3 to 8 develop essential social, emotional, and behavioural skills through pretend play.
Imaginative play is a learned skill, and Learn to Play Therapy gently supports children who may find play challenging, need help building social or literacy skills, or have missed early opportunities to develop pretend play.
Through fun, guided sessions, we help children develop skills such as object substitution, role play, storytelling, and logical sequencing while nurturing creativity, communication, and confidence.
