Hi! My name is Tracey Duggan and I’m a Certified Play Therapist registered with PTUK.

I originally trained as a teacher and taught for 12 years in a variety of settings; mostly in Key Stage 2. During my time as a teacher, I found that the most rewarding part of my job was seeing the children who were really struggling, often because of behavioural challenges or complex home lives, come into their own and flourish.

Between 2010 and 2016 I was also heavily involved in my local Scout group as Beaver Scout Leader, growing the colony from eight children to over 20. I always found that the creative side of working with younger Scouts and developing that love of being outdoors, camping and lighting fires; toasting marshmallows and drinking hot chocolates, facilitated friendships in a way that being in a classroom just did not.

In 2020, a set of personal circumstances led me to seek help for one of my own children and it was then that I witnessed first hand the power of Play Therapy and decided to re-train.

I now offer individual and group play therapy within school settings in Telford and Shrewsbury.
