Therapy through Play and Creativity

Our director Shahana Knight is on a mission to change the way we address mental health and wellbeing in England, particularly in education. With her vision for 'therapeutic schools' she works every day to help schools across the UK to change their practice and environments to support the children’s emotional and mental health.

Shahana appears regularly in the educational magazines 'Head Teachers Update' and SecEd, delivers courses around childhood trauma and mental health and wellbeing to schools and foster carers. She also talks at conferences and offers some great free advice and support on twitter through educational videos for schools. Shahana also sits on a foster care panel and manages her team of 20+ amazing play therapists.

Shahana has a wonderful team of play therapists who work with dfferent agencies and schools across the UK supporting vulnerable children who have experienced trauma. Through play therapy they help children express, explore and come to terms with their experiences and begin to move forward.

We believe all children who have experienced trauma should have access to therapeutic interventions

Addressing issues around mental health and emotional wellbeing is essential for healthy development and should be a priority in childhood. A great many children in need of therapy are not receiving it and we want to change that!

Children who are dealing with traumatic experiences are not fully participating in school, life or relationships and this can be difficult for both the child and those around them.

These children need therapy to help them explore and work through their experiences in order to be able to flourish in life and move forward. At the same time, teachers, foster parents, adoptive parents, parents and professionals need support and training to learn how best to support these children and learn more about how trauma impacts development and learning.

Children Are at the Heart of Everything We Do!
