About
Hi I'm Sara and I offer Play Therapy to children aged 3 to 12 years. I have a background in Psychology and worked for many years in the Arts Sector. I am a Certified Play Therapist registered with Play Therapy Ireland. I have worked with children struggling with diverse issues such as Bereavement, Anxiety, Parental Separation, Friendship difficulties, Low self esteem and emotional regulation. My approach is child led and child centred, a safe space within which a child can use play to process and play out big and difficult emotions, which might be hard to put into words. In the sessions children can explore and express their feelings using creative arts materials , sand, clay, small world toys, puppets and musical instruments.
