The Magic of Play
Welcome to the Little Wings Blog
This is a space where I share thoughts, stories, and resources about play therapy, childhood, and emotional wellbeing. My aim is to make play therapy feel less mysterious and more approachable, offering gentle insights for parents, carers, and professionals.
Here you’ll find posts about what play therapy is, how it can support children and families, and reflections from my journey as a play therapist. I also include practical tips, creative ideas, and sometimes just small reminders that you are not alone in the challenges of parenting and caring.
I hope this blog feels like a place of connection, encouragement, and understanding.

What happens in the play room
For many parents and carers, the idea of play therapy can feel a little mysterious. You might picture toys, art materials, or a sand tray — but wonder what actually happens in the room and how it helps.
Neurodivergence in the Play Room
Every child experiences and expresses emotions in their own unique way. For neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences, understanding and sharing feelings can sometimes be more complex. Traditional “talking” approaches do not always meet these children where they are.
Christmas happiness!
Christmas can feel magical. The lights, the sparkle, the build up, the excitement in the air. For many children and families, there is genuine joy in the rituals, the decorations, the music and the sense that something special is happening.
