About Me
Hello and welcome. I'm Jenny, the founder of My Beautiful Play which provides emotional wellbeing support to children in the local community.
I am a qualified Play Therapist registered with Play Therapy UK (PTUK), trainee Filial Play Coach, LEGO®-Based Play Therapist, ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant), and Advanced Drawing and Talking Therapist. I provide therapeutic support for children and young people through various creative and play-based approaches.
What is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy is a form of counselling or psychotherapy specifically designed for children. Play is a child's natural language—their primary way of expressing feelings, experiences, and understanding the world around them.
As a therapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where each child is accepted for exactly who they are. In this nurturing environment, children can express themselves freely, explore their difficulties, and develop healthy coping strategies at their own pace.
The playroom offers access to sand play with miniatures, paint, water, clay, musical instruments, puppets, role play materials, dressing up clothes, games, and much more—all chosen to facilitate natural expression and healing.
As I am a PTUK Play Therapist I adhere to their Ethical Framework and safeguarding guidance. I hold Professional Liability Insurance, am registered with the Information Commisioner’s Office and am DBS checked.

Drawing & Talking 1:1
Drawing & Talking 1:1
Play Therapy helps children work through their difficulties using their natural language—play. In a safe, non-judgmental space, children use toys, art, sand, and games to express feelings they may not have words for, helping them understand their experiences and build resilience.

Sand Play

Lego Therapy
Sand Play is a therapeutic intervention which explores the unconscious through the use of sand miniatures. Children and adults are able to explore their feelings and emotions by recreating their own worlds within the sand tray. Research has shown that sand play therapy can help increase emotional expression whilst reducing psychological distress.
