• Our approach

  At Rays Room, therapy draws on evidence-based approaches including Child Play Therapy and Non Directive Play Therapy to help children express themselves and develop awareness. Sessions are designed to be engaging and create a safe, homely environment where children can build trust with their therapist. The approach emphasizes parental attunement and co-regulation, helping children navigate emotional and behavioural challenges within the context of family dynamics. Therapists work collaboratively with families, offering consistent support between sessions through emails and messages. Sessions are well-prepared and structured, with families given tools and strategies to implement in their daily routines.

• Working with families

  Family involvement is central to the practice's approach, with consistent support offered to parents through emails and text messages alongside their child's sessions. Therapists work with parents to understand and support their child's progress, incorporating parental feedback into treatment planning. The practice particularly emphasises co-parenting collaboration, helping separated families learn to work together effectively for their child's benefit. Parents are given practical strategies and tools to implement at home, making them active participants in their child's therapeutic journey.

• Your first visit

  The process begins with filling out a quick online form to get started. After submission, the practice will call you to match you with a local therapist who feels like the right fit for your family. You have the opportunity to decide whether this therapist is suitable before proceeding. Once you've confirmed the match, you'll schedule your first session, which can be held in-person or virtually. The initial session starts the therapeutic journey toward real change.
