About the Practice
When a child is anxious, shut down or exploding after school, a calm play space can reveal what words are not reaching. Maple Green Play Therapy Manchester 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.

Why Work With Us?
Manchester Play Therapy Base: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.
Indoor and Nature-Based Sessions: 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: The work gives children space to express feelings through play, movement and nature, helping parents see behaviour as communication rather than defiance.
