Our 10-year-old son started play therapy when he was struggling with confidence, particularly around friendships and peer relationships. He often took negative comments to heart and placed a great deal of pressure on himself in the classroom, becoming overwhelmed when things didn’t go as he expected.
Since working with Julie, we have seen a significant improvement in both his confidence and resilience. He is better able to manage setbacks, put situations into perspective, and approach challenges with a more positive mindset. We have also noticed that he is becoming kinder to himself and less affected by the opinions of others.
The support, understanding, and skills he has gained through therapy have made a real difference to his emotional wellbeing. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact it has had and would highly recommend Hazelwood Play Therapy to other families.
