Play therapy skills and activities
Practical ideas and ready-to-use resources to help you feel confident, creative and connected in your work with children.
Looking for a little inspiration? You've found the right shelf! This collection is filled with practical play therapy skills, creative activities and resources to support your work with children. Whether you're planning ahead or responding to the moment, everything here has been thoughtfully created by a practising play therapist to help you feel confident, prepared and ready for whatever unfolds in the playroom.
We both know Play Therapy isn’t just about sitting on tiny chairs and having pretend tea parties (even if we sometimes wish it was).
✨ Speaking of which: appears in a kid-sized apron and hands you a plastic cupcake with sprinkles…✨
Whether you're newly qualified or years into practice, there are moments when you wish your supervisor was in the room with you:
Someone to help you make sense of a tricky theme…
Talk through a case conceptualisation…
Offer ideas for responding in session…
Remind you that yes, this stage of therapy is completely normal…
And gently encourage you to engage in reflective practice before therapist-you becomes completely burnt out.
While training gives us the foundations, our growth as Play Therapists happens in the playroom, in supervision, through reflection, and through continually deepening our understanding of children and ourselves.
That's why I've created My Big Play Therapy Clinical Skills Pack!
Inside you'll find a collection of practical, ready-to-download resources designed to support your clinical thinking, strengthen your therapeutic skills, and support your ongoing professional development. From case conceptualisation guides, session scripts, themes and stages resources, and reflective practice tools, to therapist self-care guides and clinical cheat sheets, these resources are designed to help you feel more confident, capable, and grounded in your work.
Because here’s the thing–takes dramatic sip from tiny teacup–the work you do matters. But so does the person doing it. That’s you, by the way…I’m talking about you.
So. No more scrambling through training notes, no more late-night Googling or ChatGPTing, and no more wondering whether everyone else somehow knows something you don't. Case closed. Pack open.

Less paperwork. More play. Yes please.
While I love to nerd out on business admin, I get that it’s not everyone’s jam. And seriously, who becomes a therapist because they want to spend all day drowning in paperwork and chasing up missed appointments?
Yet somehow, you find yourself on a Friday afternoon doing exactly those things. Gah!
Hands you a big cup of your favourite beverage and ushers you to the closest comfy chair.
Relax, my friend. And let My Big Private Practice Pack melt all your pain away.
I've taken all of the forms, templates, systems, and resources I've developed over years of building and running a Play Therapy practice and packaged them into one BIIIIIIG bundle. Because I want to save you hours of work, decision fatigue, and late-night ChatGPTing.
So say ba-bye to wondering:
"What am I even going to say in that parent intake on Tuesday?!”
"Do I need a cancellation policy?"
"How should I reply to this overwhelmed parent?”
"How the heck do I translate that whirlwind session into clinical notes?!”
Inside you'll find a treasure chest of practical ready-to-download resources designed to help you create a professional, organised, and streamlined practice without having to build everything from scratch.
Whether you're just starting out or finally getting around to sorting the admin you've been avoiding for the last three years (no judgement!), this pack will help you spend less time buried in paperwork and more time doing the work you actually love.
Because (does dramatic spin in tutu)…your energy belongs in the playroom, not in a Word document at 11pm.

✨ Speaking of which: appears in a kid-sized apron and hands you a plastic cupcake with sprinkles…✨
Whether you're newly qualified or years into practice, there are moments when you wish your supervisor was in the room with you:
Someone to help you make sense of a tricky theme…
Talk through a case conceptualisation…
Offer ideas for responding in session…
Remind you that yes, this stage of therapy is completely normal…
And gently encourage you to engage in reflective practice before therapist-you becomes completely burnt out.
While training gives us the foundations, our growth as Play Therapists happens in the playroom, in supervision, through reflection, and through continually deepening our understanding of children and ourselves.
That's why I've created My Big Play Therapy Clinical Skills Pack!
Inside you'll find a collection of practical, ready-to-download resources designed to support your clinical thinking, strengthen your therapeutic skills, and support your ongoing professional development. From case conceptualisation guides, session scripts, themes and stages resources, and reflective practice tools, to therapist self-care guides and clinical cheat sheets, these resources are designed to help you feel more confident, capable, and grounded in your work.
Because here’s the thing–takes dramatic sip from tiny teacup–the work you do matters. But so does the person doing it. That’s you, by the way…I’m talking about you.
So. No more scrambling through training notes, no more late-night Googling or ChatGPTing, and no more wondering whether everyone else somehow knows something you don't. Case closed. Pack open.

Have you noticed your clients are seriously struggling at school these days?
As Play Therapists, we spend a tonne of time helping children and supporting caregivers. And then there's school:
The place where children spend most of their waking hours…
The place where many struggles first become visible…
The place where teachers are often doing their absolute best with limited time, limited resources, and twenty-seven other children needing their attention…
Yep, schools can be one of our greatest allies AND also one of the trickiest systems to navigate.
But never fear because–flies past on a broomstick and points at this section–My Big Play Therapy School Support Pack is here!
Whether you're trying to explain Play Therapy to a teacher, advocate for a child's needs, prepare for a school meeting, or help school staff better understand what's happening beneath a child's behaviour, this pack of ready-to-use digital resources is designed to make collaboration easier…and make school easier for your clients.
