Emma Roscher

Certified Play Therapist

I studied online through the University of South Africa where I obtained an undergrad in Psychology and Linguistics in 2019. I then went on to complete a postgraduate certificate, followed by a post graduate diploma in Play Therapy and, during this time, have worked at various schools ranging from primary mainstream, an NGO, and specialist provisions.

During my studies I obtained a learn to swim qualification and, before moving to the UK, worked at a swim school for almost 6 years. I have a passion for working with children and have always known that I would end up in a field where I am able to help them in their development in some way. Being around children almost every day, I strongly believe that an element of fun is vital in allowing children to grow and develop and this is why I fell in love with the idea of Play Therapy. Play is the language of the child, and through play therapy, I believe that every child can find their voice, their strength, and their path to healing. At the centre of my practice is a core belief that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation to effective therapy and believe that this is achieved through authenticity, acceptance, empathy, and trust.
