The Trainee Play Therapist Diaries

5 Reflections on my Play Therapy Training Journey

This week I have been reflecting on my biggest takeaways from my journey to becoming a Play Therapist. I share some honest insights into things I’ve learned and where I’ve stumbled. I hope it inspires your own training reflections 🪞

My Journey into Play Therapy

This episode is a little more personal. I’m sharing my own journey into play therapy and how I ended up here. I talk about my own history and experiences and why this path feels so important to me. I share the ups and downs of training, self-doubt, growth and hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s an honest episode about self discovery and taking the leap!

Inside the Process Diaries

Today’s episode is all about process diaries ✨ I’m sharing my take on them as a trainee play therapist. What I included in mine, how to write them and how they support personal growth and our work as therapists. I’ll also be offering a few simple, practical tips which helped me make the most of my own process diaries. If you’re wondering what process diaries are all about, this one’s for you!

Play Therapy Diploma Training

In this episode I talk all about Play Therapy Diploma Training, what it involves, the boundaries and how it differs from Certificate training. If you are ready to take the next step in your Play Therapy journey it may be worth a listen 😊

Things That Make My Life Easier as a Trainee Play Therapist

This episode is all about the little (and not-so-little) practical things that have made my life easier as a trainee. As I near the end of my training journey, I wanted to share some of the strategies and habits that have helped lighten the load. Some might seem obvious, others hopefully a bit more useful but I hope there’s at least one thing here that makes your life a little easier too.
