Welcome to Buttercup Play Therapy. I'm Beth, founder of Buttercup Play Therapy supporting children and families in Hatfield, Hertfordshire and the surrounding area. I offer flexible working hours in schools.

I am a certified Play Therapist, holding a Post Graduate Diploma in Play Therapy (Distinction) with Play Therapy UK & Leeds Beckett University. I am a certified member of PTUK.

Buttercup Play Therapy supports children who are not realising their full potential. These children often have emotional, behavioural or social difficulties, or have struggled with difficult experiences. Play therapy helps children to tell their story, make sense of their experiences, thoughts and feelings and develop coping mechanisms, build self esteem, confidence and resilience. I use a range of play and creative arts media, responding to the child in a non-directive manner.

"My daughter has had play therapy sessions with Beth. These have been hugely beneficial for her overall development. Her confidence and communication skills have especially improved, which has supported her in making some lovely friendships. "
