About Me

Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) Wanaka - Lucy Robins Profile

Through my teaching career I often saw the need for more emotional support for both children and their families - and so embarked on a new journey, training as a Child Centered Play Therapist with ChildPlayWorks. I wholeheartedly believe in the modality of CCPT as a gentle, positive, and effective way to support and grow our children through difficult and unsettling times.

From Education to Play Therapy

My teaching career of over 15 years in both Early Childhood and Primary settings has taught me that children learn and grow most effectively in an environment that promotes positive and caring relationships.

I have found that this translates to all areas of life and believe that whatever our age and stage, well-being is a blend of mental, emotional and physical health - something that is often easier said than achieved!

Lucy has been working with my daughter, who has battled since she was quite small to remain happy and emotionally balanced. Having Play Therapy has made a huge positive impact on my daughter.

Being part of this journey with my children has been a huge light-bulb moment for me. I recommend every child should have the opportunity as it gives the parents a chance to grow as well.
