• Parent consultations - These can be one-time or check-in style individual appointments where we discuss challenges, successes, and tangible strategies to implement.

• Parent-child sessions - 

Appointments where both child and parent/guardian(s) are involved in working towards goals. This service is offered for parent/guardians of younger children and is play-based. For services involving older children, often we make referrals for family therapy (*family therapy is not currently offered at Ratcliffe Psychology).

At Ratcliffe Psychology, we are committed to helping you thrive as a parent. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment where you can explore your parenting journey, develop new skills, and foster a loving, supportive family atmosphere.

"You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word." - Erik Erikson

Children often express their thoughts and feelings through play rather than words. Our Play Therapy services are designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and enhance their social abilities through the natural medium of play. Brittany is trained in advanced Play Therapy skills and utilizes a variety of play techniques to help children communicate, process experiences, and foster personal growth.

Our Services Include:

• Individual Play Therapy Sessions

Each child is unique, and play therapy sessions are tailored to meet their specific needs. Through a mix of child and therapist lead play, children can express themselves freely, find different experience in their emotions, and build skills that can transition outside of the play.

• Parent Involvement and Support

Collaboration with parents is essential for effective therapy. Brittany provides regular updates and guidance to parents and guardians, helping them understand their child’s experiences, communication, and progress, offering strategies to support their work at home. This support sometimes looks like individual appointments with parents/guardians, and at times involves the parent in the play session.
