Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT)

I am trained to offer the CPRT programme which is a 10-week group course to support parents and carers in strengthening the relationship with their child. It might be that your child is presenting with some emotional or behavioural difficulties and you feel at a bit of a loss and need some support. Or, you might have considered play therapy sessions but aren't sure your child would engage and yet you are still struggling. The aim is to strengthen your relationship and to teach skills that you can use to boost your relationship long term. It can be very powerful to be in a group with other parents and realise that you are not alone in struggling with parenting – far from it. There is a huge sense of relief and community in sharing challenges in a supportive, confidential, and held group space.

​

Parents/carers learn basic play therapy skills of active listening, how to set effective limits, building self-esteem, giving praise and are supported in being able to complete 30-minute weekly play sessions with their children.

I am planning to run a small group in early 2025. If you would like to be put on the waiting list for this and an initial taster / Q&A session, please send me an email.
