out of the box play and creative arts therapy
London
My name is Esther Tomlinson and I am the Director of 'Out of the Box Play and
Creative Arts Therapy.' I am an experienced Play Therapist and Theraplay
Practitioner living in Cornwall. I have over fifteen years of experience working
in Primary and Secondary schools. Before becoming a Play Therapist I worked as a
teacher until I became frustrated that I couldn’t do enough to help every child
in terms of their emotional and psychological issues. As a Play Therapist, I
feel that I can make a huge difference in alleviating children’s distress. Using
Creative resources such as sand tray, clay, puppets, music and art, children are
supported to express themselves in a safe way and through their natural medium
of play. My aim as a Play Therapist in Cornwall is to provide a safe and
supportive environment in order for children to flourish, become resilient and
to empower and enrich the lives of children in order for them to reach their
potential. I am a practicing member registered with BACP (number 381768.) EXTRAS
As a Play Therapist, I work to BACP ethical standards. I am committed to
continuous professional development. As a Play Therapist, I have an up to date
DBS, I’m fully insured, and receive regular clinical supervision. I also have
experience as a Foster Carer, so I understand the needs of children who have
been through developmental trauma and abuse. Esther Tomlinson Certified Play
