Play Therapy Services in Cork
At Heart in Mind Play Therapy I offer a range of services for children, parents, schools and professionals across Cork.
Every service is rooted in the same belief that children thrive when the adults around them understand their emotional needs and have the right tools to support them.
Whether you're a parent worried about your child, a teacher looking for support in the classroom, or a professional seeking CPD training, you'll find what you need below.
Play Therapy for Children
One-to-one play therapy for children aged 3 to 12 in Blarney, Cork. Play therapy helps children express and process emotions they don't yet have the words for through art, sand play, storytelling and creative activities in a safe, confidential space.
I work with children experiencing anxiety, big emotions, trauma, family change, neurodivergence and more.
Play Therapy for Anxious Children
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons parents come to me. Whether your child is refusing school, struggling to sleep, or consumed by worry, play therapy gives them the tools to understand and manage anxiety in a way that lasts.
Play Therapy for Autism and ADHD
Specialist neuroaffirmative play therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Sessions are adapted to your child's individual sensory, communication and emotional needs — working with how their brain works, not against it.
Play Therapy for School Refusal
If your child is refusing school or struggling to attend, play therapy helps uncover what's really driving it and gives your child the emotional tools to face it.
I work closely with parents and school staff throughout the process.
Parent Support
You are the most important person in your child's life. Parent support sessions give you a better understanding of your child's behaviour and practical strategies that make a real difference at home whether or not your child is attending therapy.
Training and Workshops
Professional training and CPD workshops for schools, social care teams, early years practitioners and community organisations across Cork.
Practical, evidence-based and tailored to your group drawing on over 20 years of experience working with children and families.
