• Polly Barot

    I have over 13 years experience working with children and their families in a variety of educational and therapeutic settings. I now run private practices in London and the surrounding counties for children aged 3-13 years. I give one to one therapy and run both child and parent group sessions. These early interventions have life changing impacts on children and their families.

  • Child therapy

    Play therapy is a therapeutic intervention that helps children develop an understanding of their emotions and ability to express themselves in a developmentally safe and appropriate way.

    Play is a child’s natural medium of self expression. It gives a clear insight into their inner world. The therapeutic relationship is crucial to effective play therapy. I create an open, non judgemental and safe space that allows the children to express themselves freely and in return feel seen, valued and contained .

  • Parent coaching

    As a mother I know the struggles of parenting in an increasingly demanding world. We put huge pressure on ourselves and are often overwhelmed with guilt and worry that we are in some way getting it wrong. It can feel isolating when dealing with parental concerns or worries on your own. Having professional and empathetic support can help you understand your children on a deeper level and allow your relationship to thrive.
