They are all members of Play Therapy UK and some of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Children receive a 45 minute session once a week, the length of the intervention is dependent on the child's initial score on the 'Goodman's Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire' and on regular reviews.


Counselling (not included in Packages, available as Stand-alone provision)

Working with children is a very demanding job. The cost of covering staff absences due to illness and stress is considerable.


Counselling can help staff to manage the stresses of their lives more effectively. eQe can provide blocks of counselling for your staff, with qualified and experienced counsellors who are members of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Play (available in Enhanced 2 and Optimum Packages)

Children who are experiencing difficulties in their lives need an opportunity to explore their thoughts and feelings. To do this they need to feel safe. This safety is provided through a safe space, a significant relationship, a consistent and specified time and the medium of play to work through things symbolically.


The Th.Inc.Room worker provides this at a basic level. However, some children need to access this intervention with someone more highly trained.

eQe provides therapeutic play delivered by specialists who have all received Certificate level training in Therapeutic Play, some of whom are also qualified counsellors.

Data
In a sample of 14 children in Manchester Schools receiving specialist Therapeutic Play, 79% improved their total difficulties scores with an average improvement of 17.5%. Play Therapy UK's sample of 700 cases showed that 70% of them improved after receiving Therapeutic Play (Goodman's Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire).
