My name is Helen Forrester. I work in private practice by the sea in East Lothian & in Edinburgh, Scotland.  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.

Effective & Confident Report Writing in Play Therapy

Report Writing Without the Stress

Imagine sitting down to write a report and knowing exactly what to include, how to structure it, and how to communicate the impact of your work with confidence.

This practical course will show you how to make report writing a natural extension of your therapeutic practice rather than a dreaded administrative task.

By using stages of therapy and themes in play as your framework, you'll learn how to understand, organise, and communicate your clinical observations with greater confidence and ease. You'll discover how effective session notes can dramatically reduce report-writing time and provide a clear pathway to writing insightful conclusions and meaningful recommendations.

Most importantly, you'll learn how to write reports that genuinely help move things forward for your clients—reports that clearly demonstrate therapeutic progress and support the next steps in a child's journey.

Stop dreading report writing and know that you can do it.

Building a Sustainable Private Practice

Stop Guessing. Start Building a Practice That Works.

What insurance do you need? What policies are essential? How much should you charge? How do you stay ethical, compliant, and financially sustainable? What if you've forgotten something important?

Too many therapists spend months—or even years—trying to piece everything together through endless online searches, conflicting advice, and costly trial and error. The result? Delayed launches, unnecessary stress, and a practice that never quite feels secure.

This practical course is designed to help you get your practice up and running—and earning—faster.  Your practice shouldn't just work for your clients—it should work for you too.

Whether you're setting up for the first time or reviewing your current practice, this course will help you move forward with confidence, avoid common mistakes, and create a practice that supports children, families, and your long-term professional success.
