Testimonials
''Sadiye encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and engage with art and play materials to explore my thoughts about myself both personally and professionally. I felt that Sadiye has really helped me explore who I am and what I need as an individual. This understanding of myself has led me to make some small changes to better support me to accept what I find difficult, what I can’t change, and to not be so hard on myself. The sessions have also helped me to notice and appreciate when I need to look after myself, and that some self-care time is necessary and worthwhile. ''
''Sadiye has provided us with supportive play therapy here at school for over a year. She has created very stimulating environments for the children to experience during their sessions with a wealth of resources and equipment available for them to use to express themselves. The children have really enjoyed and benefitted from their sessions from both questionnaire evidence and also teacher and parent reports. Sadiye has also provided detailed and useful feedback to both parent and school. ''
''Fear is a reminder to take a deep breath and let go into the present moment where the love of the universe is a constant support.''

''It is hard to put into words how much play therapy has helped our child. We could not recommend it enough even for children that are not struggling as it gives them amazing life skills and helps them have better understanding about their emotions and how to articulate them. We are incredibly grateful to have been able to have the chance to work with Sadiye as our child went from being insecure and dis-regulated to a confident child who knows how to express her emotions. After sessions with Sadiye our daughter is now happy and thriving in school, we can not express how fortunate we have been to have access to such a resource.“ -PARENT
''My daughter felt so comfortable talking to Sadiye. It was a safe space for her to vent, and express her concerns and fears. Her behaviour and in particular her friendships with others really improved during the time period she was in play therapy. We are really pleased with her experiences! '' -PARENT
''Sadiye saw my son over 2 terms. He always loved going with her. I was very grateful for these sessions, not only for my son, but also as it gave me the chance to talk with Sadiye too. She has really taken the time to ask about our family as a whole and to listen to and discuss any issues. I have definitely seen lovely progress and learnt some great ideas to do at home. Thankyou so much Sadiye. '' -PARENT
''I really like Sadiye's approach. She's very calm, enthusiastic and present for the session. My daughter has come a long way, she has developed a side to her we never knew existed and for this we can never thank Sadiye enough. My daughter has always trusted Sadiye and has built a good relationship with her which enabled the therapy to take place effectively '' -PARENT
''Sadiye worked weekly with a child in my class who struggled with expressing his emotions particularly with a change of routine. This meant he would often present with anger or reclusively. After working with Sadiye, the child was able to concentrate for sustained periods of time and smiled so much more. The child also began to express himself more confidently and just seemed happier and was a delight to have in the classroom. ''
