25.01.2022 Today is about sharing information for supporting mental health & wellbeing in a changing world. Let's talk about three great apps that you can share with your children. They are all free and can be found on the App store. 1. ReachOut Worry Time - this helps to interrupt repetitive thinking, setting your worries aside to get on with your day. 2. Clear Fear - to help with the fear of threat, or anxiety. This app helps your children to reduce the physical responses to threat ...as well as changing thoughts, behaviours and releasing emotions. 3. Smiling Mind - mediation for young people. This app has been developed by a team of psychologists, using mindfulness to boost calm, contentment and clarity. Don't forget to get out and walk in your local park if possible, blow some bubbles for your children to chase. Amazing how stress busting this can be.

25.01.2022 At first, mindfulness can seem like an intangible concept. However, practicing mindfulness is, quite simply, the act of concentrating on your breathing, being aware of your breath and being aware of what is going on around you in the present moment. The more you do it, the more the simplicity of it becomes clear and the benefits manifold. It lightens the mind and the spirit.

24.01.2022 As play therapists, we carry the essential heart and soul of play therapy within each of us. Leveraging the child's resiliency, and the play therapy relationship as therapeutic powers of play that we can use no matter where we are. We are the playroom! (A4PT)

23.01.2022 Sharing these amazing rugs. What a great sensory tool to include in a play therapy room.

20.01.2022 Say you are holding a heavy parcel with both hands and someone gives you another parcel to hold - you would have to put the parcel you're already holding down in order to accept the second parcel. It is exactly the same principle with thoughts. You can only hold one at a time. So instead of juggling thoughts (or parcels), deal with each one before tackling another. Keep your mind (or hands) free and ready to accept any new thoughts (The Little Book of Mindfulness). If you are feeling stressed or anxious, head to www.evolvecandles.com.au to purchase this popular roll on blend of essential oil. Evolve Candles 'Stress & Anxiety' blend is handmade by Kati, a professional counsellor, and aromatherapist to help calm & centre your mind, body & soul.

16.01.2022 All face to face play therapy & counselling sessions at Britton Play Therapy & Counselling have been postponed for a period of time, this is due to the current outbreak of COVID-19 in Australia. I apologise to all my wonderful families & thank you for being so understanding in this difficult time. This clinical decision was made to uphold the safety of my clients, and the wider community. Sending out much love to all the beautiful people around the world who are in isolation, our thoughts are with you.

11.01.2022 Your time and energy is precious! Self-love, means setting boundaries. Being self-aware of what IS, and what is NOT acceptable in your world. You will be giving yourself the gift of self-worth, whilst teaching others what you won't accept.

07.01.2022 National Play Therapy Week is here! This is a time to promote the value of play, play therapy & credentialed play therapists.
