About Us:
Therapy Based Services
Delivered Through Play
At Silent Stories, we offer a warm, supportive space where children, young people and families use child-led, creative, relational therapeutic approaches to help children explore their emotions and experiences that may not yet be able to put into words or be understood.
We provide a range of support, including Play Therapy for children, Therapeutic Support Services for teenagers, Filial Therapy for parents/carers and children together and Family Support. This ensures that each approach is tailored to the child's individual needs.
Silent Stories adheres to the ethical and professional standards of the British Association of Play Therapists (BAPT), ensuring safe, evidence-informed and compassionate care.
If you’re worried about your child, support is available. Contact us to discuss how we can help.
What is Play Therapy
Play therapy is an evidence-based therapy that helps children and teenagers express their thoughts and feelings through play.
Young people do not always communicate through words. Instead, they may express themselves through changes in behaviour, play, drawing, storytelling, imagination or silence rather than words. Play therapy provides a safe and supportive space where children and adolescents can explore their emotions in a way that feels natural and developmentally appropriate to them.
At Silent Stories, play therapy is used to support children experiencing:
• Anxiety.
• Emotional difficulties.
• Behavioural challenges.
• Trauma or loss.
• Changes within the family.
• Neurodiverse and developmental difficulties
• And many other challenging experiences.
Through play therapy, young people can begin to make sense of their experiences, develop emotional resilience, and find healthier ways to cope.
Based in Inverclyde and operating across surrounding areas including Renfrewshire, Dumbartonshire and Glasgow, Silent Stories offers therapeutic support within a calm, supportive environment for your child.

Silent Stories was established to provide a safe, nurturing space where unspoken experiences and emotions can be gently explored and understood. As a BAPT-registered Play Therapist, my practice is rooted in safety, connection, and a deep respect for each child and adolescent's inner world.
