About Us

Our Services 

 Precious Hands SEND Support & Therapies offers play and creative arts therapy and Special Education Needs advice and support for parents, carers, social workers and schools.  

Whether you are referring your child privately or you are a school or social worker looking for support for a child, we are here to help.   

We offer a private space in Maisemore, Gloucester, for children to access play and creative arts therapy with qualified play therapists, registered with governing body Play Therapy UK (PTUK) and the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) Accredited Register. 

Our play therapy sessions offer mental health support for children having a challenging time. We understand how this can affect the whole family and will work alongside you to move towards a brighter future.

We also offer training and advice when navigating and accessing support for children and young people in Gloucestershire.  Special Educational Needs terms including EHCP, My Plans, referrals and the Gloucestershire Graduated Pathway can be an unknown world for parents, leaving them feeling lost and unable to help their child. Accessing help and supporting pupils with SEND in schools can be a complicated and difficult process, we understand the pressures on schools to meet a huge spectrum of needs with a limited budget and expertise and offer sensible workable advice.

Our play therapy & advisory room is located in rural Maisemore at The Steading Business Centre, Gloucester.  We offer free parking and toilets are available.
