About Helen Axelby

Hi, I’m Helen. I’m a PTUK qualified play therapist who is passionate about supporting children to build their resilience, positivity and creativity.

Before training as a therapist, I was a teacher and saw first-hand the challenges that children face in their everyday lives. Creativity and exploration are a natural part of childhood – what better way to communicate than through play?

Play Therapy

Play Therapy is a safe environment where children can explore their feelings, thoughts and behaviours. By doing so, children are able to gain insights and understanding into their experiences, increasing emotional resilience and develop coping strategies that help them overcome the challenges we all face.
