Out Of The Box Play And Creative Arts Therapy

out of the box play and creative arts therapy

London

My name is Esther Tomlinson and I am the Director of 'Out of the Box Play and Creative Arts Therapy.' I am an experienced Play Therapist and Theraplay Practitioner living in Cornwall. I have over fifteen years of experience working in Primary and Secondary schools. Before becoming a Play Therapist I worked as a teacher until I became frustrated that I couldn’t do enough to help every child in terms of their emotional and psychological issues. As a Play Therapist, I feel that I can make a huge difference in alleviating children’s distress. Using Creative resources such as sand tray, clay, puppets, music and art, children are supported to express themselves in a safe way and through their natural medium of play. My aim as a Play Therapist in Cornwall is to provide a safe and supportive environment in order for children to flourish, become resilient and to empower and enrich the lives of children in order for them to reach their potential. I am a practicing member registered with BACP (number 381768.) EXTRAS As a Play Therapist, I work to BACP ethical standards. I am committed to continuous professional development. As a Play Therapist, I have an up to date DBS, I’m fully insured, and receive regular clinical supervision. I also have experience as a Foster Carer, so I understand the needs of children who have been through developmental trauma and abuse.

Baby Love Group Classes are friendly, giggle-filled age-appropriate groups overflowing with sensory, exploratory & creative play across Swansea The BABYLOVE concept was initially a response to Claire’s experiences as an early years educator; the lack of communication skills in young children particularly concerned her and it became a burning desire to create a program which supported communication skills from from bump – nursery. This has over time evolved into a program which holistically develops the cognition, physical skills, social interaction, imagination, creativity, communication, autonomy, musicality, confidence and love of learning in little ones. Over the 10 years Babylove has been running Claire has identified a real need to offer mums more support.
