Hello my name is Sarah Harwood. When I started teaching music at the age of 16 my students would often talk to me about difficulties at home or school. This inspired me years later to complete a Master of Arts in Counselling, specialising in marriage, children, and families. Since then I have enjoyed helping people discover their strengths to lead contented and fulfilling lives.
Play Therapy involves the use of play to communicate with children. Communicating through the medium of play helps children learn to solve problems and change their negative behaviors. The therapeutic play room is a safe and secure space where the child is able to process their emotions and experiences process their emotions and experiences without fear of judgement.
It's no secret that adolescence and the teenage years can be a difficult time. While some children breeze through adolescence and escape relatively unscathed, others find puberty a very challenging time. This can be challenging not only for your teen, but for your family, and while their reaction to puberty is no reflection on you, your family, or indeed - on them - it is important to provide support and guidance during these years.
Blooming Heart is devoted to the treatment and care of our clients and patients, and we're always looking for new forms of treatment and therapeutic practices to enhance the lives and treatment of children, adolescents and adults. AutPlay Therapy is a play and behavioural therapy approach, which is specifically tailored to help children and their families who are living with autism and other forms of developmental disability.
A healthy relationship is one where problems can be raised and discussed openly, with both parties feeling free to express their own points of view. When conflict becomes a dominating feature of the relationship, or where unhelpful patterns begin to emerge, couples therapy can help you get back on track.

Report
I am a teacher in a school K-12 for students with multiple disabilities, abilities and challenging behaviours. I believe Blooming Heart Play Therapy has given me more understanding into the psychology of Play Therapy. I have used play therapy in my day to day teaching of my students, and I am in awe watching how my none verbal students have taken to the puppets I use in my classroom. I have found that there is less behaviour issues when the puppets are out and the student is free to express themselves during play.
