Paula Brown
I am a qualified Play Therapist working in Bristol. Play therapy supports children, helping them to cope with their big feelings. This is largely because play helps children who find it hard to talk directly about their concerns.
I have grown to understand how children learn to bond with the adults and children around them. I have gained this deep understanding of ‘attachment theory’ from working with young children as a nursery teacher and also from working with adopted children.
I am also interested in all types of trauma, from everyday stresses to life-changing experiences. I witnessed how trauma affects people’s nervous systems as well as their feelings and behaviour.
Most of all, though, I love the deep connection that comes from working with children or watching them experience joy.
