FAQ - Training

  • Currently, I offer an online course: Wild Places, Safe Spaces. This training is great if you’re looking to become a nature based play therapist.

    Coming soon - Keep checking in for more courses based on nature based play therapy practices. Once my own woodland is ready, I’m aiming to host courses from my garden, including immersive nature based play therapy training and play therapy retreats.

  • It’s simple! Just add the course you’d like to join into the cart and proceed through the checkout process. If you’d prefer to pay in instalments, please reach out via email.

  • Eight hours of online training delivered in four two-hour sessions.

    Two 90-minute small group supervision sessions.

    A welcome pack containing a comprehensive course handbook and creative journal plus gifts*.

    Access to recordings of training sessions throughout the course and for one month after.

FAQ - Creative Supervision

  • I offer supervision to trainee play therapists, qualified play therapists, and clinical supervisors also working in the field of play therapy.

    I also offer creative supervision to education leaders, teachers and support staff working in schools.

  • Well, that’s a big question!

    Supervision is a supportive process whereby the supervisee feels welcomed, accepted, and safe to share. Whilst gentle challenge is offered, this never comes from a place of judgement.

    In a supervision session, you will be invited to let me know what you need. I’ll regularly invite you to engage in creative reflection using elements of the play therapy toolkit or nature based practices.

  • Most individual sessions are £60 per hour.

    For trainees, I offer a reduced fee of £50 per hour.

    For small group supervision (3 -6 supervisees), sessions are £20 per hour, per person.

  • Please reach out to me by email if you’re seeking supervision, letting me know what you’re after. If I’ve got capacity, we’ll set up a free introduction session. After this, we can both make a choice about whether the match feels positive.

    Following each session, I will email an invoice so payment can be made.

  • Yes, of course - we both need to be clear about boundaries, responsibilities and expectations. The contract also covers important elements such as cancellation and what happens if you have a safeguarding concern. I’ll share the contract with you during the introduction session.

  • Your data is safe with me! Check the privacy policy at the bottom of the website for full details.

  • If you’re interested in face to face supervision, I am based near Auldgirth, which is ten minutes from Dumfries in south west Scotland.
