Zoe Walsh

Zoë began working in the Down Syndrome Centre in 2022. Zoë supports children and their siblings at the centre with their emotions. Zoë believes in providing a safe space for children to explore their feelings in the playroom and follows a non-directive approach to Play Therapy. 

 

What is Play Therapy?

Play Therapy is a mode of therapy that allows children to understand their feelings. As play is a child’s natural form of expression, it can allow them communicate at their own level without having to put it into words. Play allows the child to release needs, fears and wishes. It also helps them to address emotional and behavioral difficulties. Zoë works with children aged 3-12 years. Sessions are the same time and day every week to ensure consistency for the child. Zoë works on Monday's at the centre.
