Tamsin Roberts

I have current availability for sessions on Thursday afternoon/ early evening.  From September I will also have availability on Wednesdays. 

I am a Play and Creative Arts Therapist specialising in working with children and young people aged 4 to 18. My approach is integrated and holistic, focusing on being client centred and addressing each individual's unique needs.

Utilising play and creative arts, I incorporate various materials such as paint, drawing supplies, small figurines, sand trays with symbols, instruments, puppets, and more. These tools create a safe and non-confrontational environment, allowing children and young people to engage in therapy creatively alongside talk therapy.

Play and creative arts therapy can assist with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, peer relationship challenges, trauma, neurodiversity, anger management, identity exploration, grief, and family dynamics.

I practice in a setting that is close to nature, harnessing its therapeutic power to support the healing process. Reach out for a no-obligation introductory call. 

I use play and creative arts therapy alongside talk therapy to help overcome emotional and behaviour difficulties for children and young people. Using play as the language of children it is a theory based practise using a trauma informed bottoms up approach. Meaning the sessions are safe, contained and always working at the clients pace. 

On first meeting we will have an introduction where the client can get to know me and the space. Sessions are client led allowing safety and containment. 

Pre sessions a questionnaire and interview form is completed by the parent or carer (or young person if age appropriate) to gather the level of need. We will also have regular reviews working in partnership to ensure the best outcomes for the child or young person.
