“The shoe that fits one person pinches another;
there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.”

Carl Jung

We believe every child has the potential to thrive

We unlock that potential through the transformative power of play and creative arts therapies. Our dedicated team fosters a non-directive approach, allowing each child to lead the way and express themselves freely. Through this process, children explore their feelings, process experiences, and ultimately embrace their unique strengths in a nurturing environment.

Our Support Services

Play Therapy

Play Therapy offers a safe space for children navigating big emotions or challenging life experiences. We are committed to fostering a non-directive approach, allowing each child to guide us to the heart of their concerns through play and interactive expressions, aided by a range of resources like art materials, puppets and musical instruments.

Creative Arts Therapy

Creative Arts Therapy creates a safe haven for older children to explore and express their emotions through art, music and creative activities. This is a similar non-directive approach to play therapy and may be suitable for teenagers who are struggling to express or process their feelings using words.

Parent Support Consultations

Our Parent Support Consultations provide an opportunity to gain insight and understanding into children’s behaviour. Through collaboration, the therapist and parents will come up with some strategies and ideas to support their own children, themselves as parents and the whole family.

Other services include Workshops and Talks on child therapy and child mental health, in work and social environments.

Where Psychological
Healing Meets Play!

Play and creative therapies go far beyond fun; they encourage growth, enhance neurodiversity, and support children in forming new neural connections that promote well-being. Whether your child is navigating neurodivergent traits like ADHD or autism, or facing challenges like anxiety or trauma, our non-directive approach helps them harness their strengths.

At Hero Within, your child will find a space where they can grow, thrive, and discover their inner hero.
