About
-
The Play Specialist Service (TPSS) is run by myself, Vicki Ivie, which was formed in January 2017.
-
I have been a qualified and registered Community Play Specialist since 2008 and a Family Systemic Practitioner since 2015.
-
I begin my sessions by establishing a trusting relationship with the child, young person (YP) and family.
-
The outcome is usually a positive one. Anxiety levels are reduced, coping strategies put in place, new skills learnt which allow those to feel empowered and able to move forward.
-
I offer pre and post bereavement work, and support for families struggling with change, divorce, uncertainty.
-
I work collaboratively with other professionals from all agencies including those in the health, educational, social sector and charities. This currently includes 2 Local Authorities with Fostered and Adopted children and 2 CCG's Clinical Commissioning Groups)
-
I currently cover the areas of London and Surrey but am happy to travel further afield to support families. This does incur additional travel expenses. I can offer online sessions for those that live further afield.
-
Predominantly my sessions are Face to Face, however i can and do offer online sessions using Skype or Zoom.
-
I run parent workshops.and professional training programs.
Please contact The Play Specialist Service for prices and see my CV page for further information in regard to my qualifications and experience.
