Joe Therapy Bristol — Counsellor in Bristol, England

Tara is a Child-Centered Play Therapist based in Bristol, England, specializing in supporting children aged 4 to 12. She holds a Diploma in Play Therapy (PTUK) and has a background in teaching and child development. Tara utilizes a non-directive approach, where children lead their therapy using a specially equipped playroom with various toys designed for self-expression. This method helps children process emotional struggles, understand their feelings, build coping strategies, and develop a stronger sense of self. Play therapy can address everyday worries, complex emotional challenges, and trauma, leading to increased confidence, emotional regulation, and improved relationships. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long, with an average of 28 sessions recommended for complex issues. Tara offers initial phone consultations and in-person visits to her St. Paul's home-based practice.
