Why Do I Need To Go To See the Play Therapist?
The people closest to you feel that not everything is going really well for you right now and they want to help you. You may have lots of feelings that are hard to understand. Maybe you are feeling sad or angry or lonely, and maybe something sad or bad has happened to you. Sometimes when we are angry or sad or upset, we might do things like hitting others or we might cry and feel bad about ourselves.
Sometimes it is really hard to talk about our feelings or our worries so the play therapist called Sheena will help you to play your feelings instead. Before you come to see Sheena, the grown-ups will talk to Sheena about how you are doing, and how we can help you. Sheena has worked with hundreds of boys and girls of all ages, and she will do her very best to help you with any of the big feelings that you are struggling with right now. So many boys and girls of all ages go to see Sheena and other therapists like Sheena. It doesn't mean there is anything at all wrong with you, or that there is something bad about you. Just like we visit a nurse or doctor when we need help with feeling sick or hurt, we might visit someone like Sheena when we need help with big feelings or worries.
When you meet Sheena, you will be able to spend time getting to know each other and playing with lots of different toys in the playroom. You will have your own special time for 45 minutes, and this will be on the same day and the same time every week. If you are unsure of anything, you can ask Sheena anything you like and she will do her best to make things as clear as possible for you.

What Can I Talk To The Play Therapist About?
You can talk about as much or as little as you want with Sheena. When you meet Sheena for the first time, she will explain to you about what things can be private and what things that the she might have to share with other grown-ups. If you tell Sheena anything that makes her really worried about you, then she will have to talk to other grown-ups so that we can all keep you safe. But Sheena will not tell the grown-ups details of other things that you talk about, she will just talk to them every now and then about how you are doing. You can choose to talk to your family and friends about your time in the playroom if you wish, but it is your choice.
