Hello and welcome to
Blackberry Way Therapy
My name is Antonia and I provide play therapy and creative counselling to children and adolescents who are experiencing emotional challenges and need a safe place to explore their thoughts and feelings. I believe in helping children find a path to a happier self, to help them develop an inner strength and resilience so that they can achieve their full potential.
Are you worried about your child?
Do they seem withdrawn or anxious? Are they having friendship difficulties? Do they struggle to manage their emotions?
Play therapy provides a safe and confidential space for children to express themselves and explore the issues which make them feel unhappy.
Play therapy creates possibilities for children to become whatever they want to be.
Play therapists believe in the internal power of the child and the child’s ability to lead the play therapy in a meaningful and healing direction.
