About Us

A dynamic Counselling and Education Consultancy service providing a range of counselling, including Art Therapy, Play Therapy, Animal Assisted Therapy, Lego Based Therapy, Lego Groups, Emotional Learning Groups and education support services for children, families and schools. 

We believe in sharing our knowledge to improve outcomes for children and providing a safe space for clients, whether children, parents or school staff to be supported to achieve their full potential.

At Play Educate we understand that parenting is a continuous learning curve and a journey that at times can be tough to navigate. We respect that the parent or carer knows their child more than anyone else and encourage parents to advocate for the needs and wants of their child. We aim to support parents in building strong attachments, a deep relational connection and a balance of needs in the family dynamic, decreasing stress and increasing positive experiences for the whole family.

We pride ourselves on our ability to share our knowledge and skills with parents, teachers, carers and of course each child with whom we work. 

Whether it be Music Therapy, Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Lego Therapy or a combination, our counsellors and therapists will tailor each session specifically to meet the goals and needs of each individual.
