Welcome to Time for You Play and Creative Arts Therapy for children and young people aged 3-16 years in and around Dorchester, Dorset

Hello and welcome to Time for You, therapy service supporting the mental health and well-being of children and young people in Dorset, now and for their future.

Time for You Therapy uses play and the creative arts, rather than traditional 'talking therapies' like counselling, because play is the language of childhood and creative expression is the language of the unconscious mind, for healing when we cannot find the words to fully express or resolve our thoughts, feelings, or painful memories.

Time for You to Process the Past, Live the Present, and Trust the Future
