Hello, my name is Laura Cooper.
I am a play therapist who is passionate about working with children and supporting them to overcome their difficulties. I have worked within education for the last decade and have specialised in childrens development, mental health and therapy needs for the past three years.
For many parents a childs difficulties can be both distressing and confusing. It isn't always easy to know how best to support them. Play therapy offers a non judgmental and integrative holistic approach to supporting a child or young adult.
Play therapy is an effective intervention with no right or wrong. This allows children and young people a free, safe atmosphere, to express themselves however they wish with aid of play. It aids physical, emotional and social development, fosters imagination and creativity, encourages confidence and concentration and often helps when talking does not.
I am registered with Play Therapy UK who are registered with the professional standards agency (PSA)
Please see my services for what I can offer both inside schools and privately at my home address where I have a customised play therapy room.
