What do you love most about being a play therapist? 

The  joy on children’s faces when they see the playroom for the first time and again when they realise they get to come back every week!   

Which toy in the playroom is your favourite and why? 

The puppets! They are not commonly found in children’s homes so I love to see children discover them and work out different ways to use them. I also love how puppets allow children the opportunity to distance themselves from the big stuff they are playing out.
