A space to play. A space to express. A space to heal and grow.

Supporting Children Through Their Big Feelings

A safe space for little hearts to be heard, understood and supported.

Welcome to Heart Space

Play therapy is a type of therapy for children, helping them explore emotions, build confidence and develop the tools they need to thrive.

Play Therapy gives children a safe, nurturing space to express feelings and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

At Heart Space, I provide a calm, nurturing and accepting environment where children can explore their emotions, experiences and relationships through play and creativity. My approach is gentle, child-led and centred around building a trusting relationship where each child feels safe to be themselves.

A space to play. A space to express. A space to heal and grow.

Supporting Children Through Their Big Feelings

Children communicate in many different ways. Behaviour can often be a way of expressing something they don’t yet have the words to explain.

Therapeutic play can provide children with another way to communicate, helping them make sense of difficult experiences, understand their emotions and develop healthier ways of coping.

I support children experiencing:

Anxiety and worries
Low self-esteem and confidence
Emotional regulation difficulties
Anger and big emotions
Social and friendship difficulties
Autism and ADHD
Developmental delays
Trauma and difficult experiences
Loss and bereavement
Attachment difficulties
Changes within family life
Difficulties expressing feelings

A Child-Led Approach

Why Play Therapy?

Play is a child’s natural language. Through play, children can explore experiences, express emotions and work through things that may feel too difficult to talk about directly.

Using a range of creative and imaginative activities, including:

Art • Sand • Clay • Puppets • Music • Stories • Role-play

children can explore their inner world in a way that feels safe and accessible.

Play Therapy isn’t about telling a child what to do or how to feel. It is about creating the right environment for them to explore, discover and develop at their own pace.

“Play Therapy has made a significant difference. He is calmer, happier and more confident, with fewer outbursts and night terrors. He is regulating himself better, listening more at school and becoming more confident socially. The therapy room has changed the way he sees himself and helped him grow in confidence. We can’t thank Rommy enough.”

"I and others have seen a change in his behaviour and the way he manages his emotions which is a really positive thing. He has calmed down massively and has learnt how to manage his emotions better - the ‘quiet time’ is working well for both me and him, as we both can see when he needs that space. Thank you for all the help and support you provided, it hasn’t gone unnoticed. He really enjoyed coming to sessions and built that relationship with you. "
