About the Practice
When cancer enters a child’s world, play can help fear and confusion come out safely. Kids Cancer Charity Swansea Play Therapy Support supports Swansea 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?
Swansea Play Therapy and Cancer Support: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.
Child Sibling and Family Routes: 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: Support can help children and siblings process illness through age-appropriate emotional work rather than carrying fear alone.
