My name is Helen Forrester.Ā I work in private practice by the sea in East Lothian & in Edinburgh, Scotland. Ā Having supported and supervised play therapists & other creative arts therapists for a long time and shared the joys and challenges of the work we do, I wanted to create a resource that would help with those nitty-gritty bits of practising that can feel tricky, worrying or overly time-consuming.
This is a growing hub of resources and support designed to empower you in your practice. You will find practical online training to boost your confidence and skills, tools to help you communicate effectively with parents, carers and professionals, and private practice coaching tailored specifically for therapy. No more struggling to adapt generic advice—everything here is crafted to meet the unique needs of therapy professionals.
I hope that you find something here that will support you in your practice.

Create good energy
We hear the saying “good vibes only” everywhere, but that’s easier said than done. Good vibes are not about pretending nothing is wrong. They’re about creating positive energy around yourself and what you’re doing.

When you come from a place of abundance and gratitude, your whole life will change. This course will help you appreciate life (even the aspects you used to dread), and you’ll see success and failure from a fresh perspective.
Who you’re meant to be
We are all unique individuals with dreams and desires. As we grow, the world around us begins to influence our identity. This course will lead you on a journey of self-discovery where you step into who you’re meant to be with confidence.
