 The ongoing anxiety and abnormality of  these strange times is impacting on our children mental health.  We child counsellors and Play Therapists may need to think outside the box - outside the room! 

WHAT?: Landplay is a form of outdoor play therapy which can provide a less stressful way of managing sessions with children, particularly at this time .
WHY?: The health benefits of being outdoors has become one of the familiar features of the lock-down and there is more appreciation for our human need to connect with the land. I think that school leaders will be more willing to facilitate outdoor play therapy  provided you can ensure ethical and professional standards.
HOW?: Landplay therapeutic space removes the difficult issue of room allocation, many of us have experienced working in cupboards before and  it will be very hard for some schools to find indoor accommodation for therapy sessions! 
Landplay procedures provide safe boundaries to work within - and is an extension of the indoor lay therapy space. 
Landplay provides a safe boundaried space in an outdoor setting which is easy to set up and provides the safe base from which the child can relax and boost sensory input. 
Landplay method embodies attachment theory, concepts of archetypal energy source, nature awareness, ecotherapeutic methods

LANDPLAY

THE NEED TO ENSURE THE NEXT GENERATION UNDERSTANDS OUR SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EARTH THAT SUSTAINS US IS CRUCIAL. CIRCLE OF LIFE REDISCOVERY HAVE BEEN FACILITATING NATURE CONNECTION COURSES TRAINING AND PROGRAMMES FOR MANY YEARS. NOW WE ALL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF OF OUR OVER INDULGENCE AND DISREGARD .WE ARE OBLIGATED TO OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN AND OUR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN TO DO ALL WE CAN TO SAVE OUR WORLD...NOW! 

I HAVE DEVELOPED LANDPLAY TO ENCOURAGE CHILD COUNSELLORS AND PLAY THERAPISTS TO ENCOURAGE NATURE CONNECTION IN THEIR SESSIONS. TAKING CLIENTS INTO AN OUTDOOR SAFE SPACE SUPPORTS HEALING OF THE MIND - BODY AND PROMOTES AN AFFECTION FOR NATURAL SENSORY INPUTS. IF ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO GET OUTDOORS THEN BRING NATURAL MATERIALS INTO THE THERAPY SPACE... ENCOURAGE LESS RELIANCE ON PLASTIC IN YOUR SESSIONS.
