parent-led play therapy

Play Therapy at Connections Clinic

Parents are taught parent-led Play Therapy techniques (via video link) to provide them with the skills to incorporate play as a therapeutic tool to further support their child to process current traumatic events. Following a Theraplay and Filial Therapy model, Play Therapy allows children to express, regulate, communicate, practice, and master new skills, as well as processing traumatic events. One of the primary benefits of this intervention is that it is a FUN way to reconnect with our children. ​

Sunelle has successfully completed the theoretical component of her Masters in Gestalt Play Therapy, whilst living in London, as well as an extensive training and clinical supervision, over the last 10 years, in Non-Directive Child-Centred Play Therapy and Filial Therapy, and Level One training in Theraplay.

Connections have a beautiful Play Therapy room that has been lovingly developed with knowledge gained from providing Play Therapy and developing rooms for other service providers over the years.

Sunelle’s Play Therapy practice framework primarily incorporated the Integrated Dimension Model of Play Therapy, acknowledging that every child has their own needs as individuals. Sunelle encourages parents to be active participants in the therapeutic process, supporting them to develop their own skills to facilitate change for their child.
