Filial Play Coaching is an intervention to help strengthen the bond between the parent and the child. Kelly works one to one with you, as the parent, to help you communicate through non-directive play and work through any issues that you may have.

Using a set of skills, Kelly will teach you how to play with your child for just 10 minutes a day, 5 times a week, to improve your relationship. In turn this will help to improve your child’s behaviours and support any difficult emotions they may be experiencing.

You will have the opportunity to learn the skills and find play activities and ideas that will interest your child, you will then be able to work through the issues that have been identified.

Kelly will help you to make a plan to support your child. She will teach you what to do so that you can then spend these moments of quality time together in uninterrupted, non-directive, child lead play and see a positive change.

As parents, you will become the agents of change to improve your child’s emotional state and behaviour. Filial play coaching is a preventative intervention used in the early stages of emotional, behavioural and relational problems rather than at a stage of crisis.

Feel free to contact Kelly to discuss if this is the right option for you and your child.
