"It takes a village to raise a child."

Hi,
I'm Jennie
Welcome to
Patchwork Play
I am lucky to be able to say I really love what I do!
As a child psychotherapist I offer support to children by creating a safe space to explore and overcome big emotions and life experiences through play and other developmentally appropriate approaches.
I also recognise the importance and value in supporting parents and care givers in the role they play in children's lives. Support for a child often starts with support for the caregiver.
My work in both community settings and as a member of a multi disciplinary team for one of Irelands leading fostering agencies, has allowed me to observe across a varied spectrum, the devastating impact that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have on children, their families and communities.
As a result, I have developed and facilitate a number of CPD workshops along with facilitating evidenced based parenting programs where prevention and early intervention is central. Strengthening protective factors against the long-term affects of ACEs is an area I am passionate about. It really does take a village!
If you would like to learn more about the services I offer I invite you to explore my website or you can contact me here for more information.
