Welcome to my play therapy service where creativity meets compassion and connection is at the heart of my practice. In every session, I work with your child to build a safe space where trust is nurtured, empowering them to share, explore, and express their feelings without judgment or expectation.

Anger management • Anxiety • ADHD/ASD • Behaviour difficulties • Bereavement and loss

• Bullying/being bullied • Concentration/motivation • Emotional difficulties • Illness for the child or in the home • Relationship difficulties • Sadness or depression • Separation/divorce • Social difficulties • Self Harming • Trauma

Testimonials

Ciara has a wonderfully warm personality and really tuned into what each of my children needed. My kids have very different personalities, and I was delighted and relieved to see how they really embraced their individual time each week with Ciara. Ciara's playroom is like an Aladdin's cave, and they easily gravitated towards activities and toys that they really enjoyed.

I feel my children really benefited from their time with Ciara and she was able to offer really practical suggestions to us as parents on how to support each child at home.
