My Practice
In my practice, the child is central. The room is filled with toys and materials for all ages, so that every child feels free and welcome to discover and play. There are dressing-up clothes, games, books, dinosaurs, a train track, a castle and many more playful possibilities.
Play is a form of communication
Play is a natural way for children to express feelings and thoughts. During the sessions, I invite children to playfully explore together what wishes and needs there are and what steps towards change are possible. My experience is that a child always chooses exactly what he or she needs to communicate — whether it is a game, a story, a role or a fantasy world.
A Safe and Warm Place
Children soon feel at ease in this space. It is not a clinical environment, but a warm and playful place where they are allowed to be themselves. Because of this, they do not experience that they are “in treatment” but that they are simply allowed to play, discover and grow in their own way.
