About Us
We are a Therapeutic Training Organisation that seeks to empower professionals who are working with the impact of mental health in order to enhance the life experiences of children, young people and adults.
Our Manifesto
Our Vision
The School of Play and Creative Therapies is a therapeutic training organisation run by therapists. In light of this we have significant experience of working therapeutically with all age ranges and understand the holistic and diverse needs of our students. Therefore as experienced practitioners and educators in the field of mental health, our knowledge and experience has enabled us to consider the educational requirements for working therapeutically with children, young people, adults, parents, professionals and stakeholders.
Empowering Adults, Enhancing Futures
Play and Creative Therapy
At School of Play and Creative Therapies, we recognise the profound impact of play therapy on mental health. Grounded in the belief that play is a natural language, we integrate this approach into our training programs, empowering professionals to skillfully navigate and enhance the well-being of individuals across various age groups.
Elevating Professional Growth
CPD opportunities are available to support Play Therapists, counsellors, psychologists, professionals within education, health and social care teams, parents including foster and adopted parents.

Therapeutic Training
We strive to bring good quality Continued Professional Development (CPD) and therapeutic training to those working with children, young people and adults. It is also our aim to work with the parents and carers of infants, children and young people. Overall we want to empower and develop practice and parenting by offering new perspectives to the support given.
Our experience has shown us how challenging it can be to understand what is driving someone’s behaviour. For example, this may be a response to a traumatic event or experience. We understand that behaviour is usually a language which is showing us something that is upsetting the child or young person. They can often become dysregulated. They are unable to share what is upsetting them cognitively. At times like these we can feel de-skilled because we cannot connect with a distressed or withdrawn child or young person. With this in mind, our CPD and therapeutic training will support you to gain a deeper understanding of mental health and how you can support those you work with in a more meaningful way.
