About the Practice
When a child’s story is too much for ordinary talking, creative play can give the feeling somewhere safer to go. Sunflower Therapy Cardiff gives Cardiff families a creative therapy route for children and young people who cannot always explain distress through words alone. The work is therapy, not an art class, music lesson or drama club: the creative medium is used to support emotional expression, regulation and repair.
Clinical Expertise
Play and creative arts therapy
Inner thoughts and feelings through games, music, clay, art, story, drama and sand play
Creative tools can support children who need non-verbal expression, including refugee and SEND contexts
Why Work With Us?
Accredited Play and Creative Arts Therapist: Parents can see the professional route behind the work, including protected-title or professional-body signals where available.
Cardiff Creative Therapy: Creative arts therapy can help a child communicate through image, sound, story, movement, metaphor or making when direct questions create pressure.
Parent and Setting Awareness: The service uses several creative tools so children can communicate without being pushed into one language.
