About the Practice
When your child cannot talk through grief, trauma or overwhelming feelings, play therapy can make emotional support less frightening. HSR Psychology Manchester Play Therapy supports Manchester families with play-based and counselling-style emotional wellbeing support for children who need more than another conversation at the kitchen table. The focus is safer expression, stronger connection and practical understanding for the adults around the child.

Clinical Expertise
Play therapy delivered across settings as a specialist intervention

Overwhelming emotions, trauma, bereavement, problem-solving, communication, managing emotions, socialising and understanding past experiences

Play therapy is described as useful where verbal expression is difficult because of age or a specific condition; SEND route noted for ages 14-18

Why Work With Us?
Psychology-Led Manchester Service: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Specialist Play Therapy Intervention: Play, creative work and counselling-style support help children communicate through action, story, art, movement and relationship when direct questions only make them close down.

Parent and School Connection: Families can link emotional expression, SEND needs and school context without forcing a child into adult-style talking therapy.
