Family therapy
Family therapy in the playroom is a therapeutic approach where children and their caregivers come together to explore relationships through play. The playroom offers a safe, structured space with carefully chosen materials that support communication, connection, and shared understanding. With the therapist guiding the process, families can strengthen relationships, improve emotional connection, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.
Family therapy Package
Therapy is not a quick fix. Families often find it helpful to begin with a structured block of support, usually around 6 family therapy sessions, alongside dedicated time for parents or carers to reflect, plan, and make sense of what is happening within the family system. This approach allows space to understand patterns in relationships, communication, and emotional responses, while also supporting change in a gradual and supported way. Some families may need fewer sessions, while others may benefit from continuing longer. This depends on the needs of the family, the goals of the work, and what feels most helpful over time.
A typical package begins with an initial parent or carer meeting, where current concerns are explored in depth, along with family history, strengths, and areas of difficulty. This is followed by a second parent or carer meeting to clarify goals for therapy and agree how the work will be structured.
The core of the work involves 6 x 60 minute family therapy sessions, where family members are supported to explore relationships, communication patterns, and emotional dynamics together in a safe and structured space. These sessions focus on improving understanding, connection, and ways of responding to one another under stress.
At the end of the block of work, a written end of block report is provided. This summarises the themes explored, progress made, shifts in family dynamics, and any recommendations or next steps going forward.
