ARCH CREATIVE AND PLAY THERAPY CENTRE, Limerick

ARCH Creative and Play Therapy Centre offers Creative/ Play Therapy for Children, Adolescents and Adults in Limerick and Munster. Creative/ Play Therapy provides a safe space for children, teenagers and adults to explore and express their experiences and emotions and develop new ways of coping with their world.

Play Therapy is the therapeutic use of play and creative arts. Many people, especially children, do not readily have words to explain their circumstances, feelings and reasons behind their behaviour but easily express themselves through creative media and play.

This service is provided by a trained and experienced Certified and Accredited Play Therapist, Janine Nehrig. Janine has worked with children and families in different settings since 2003. As a member of Play Therapy Ireland and the Psychological Society of Ireland, she adheres to strict codes of practice, including clinical supervision, continuing professional development and clinical governance, as well as to Ireland’s child protection guidelines Children First. Janine is also a member of the Register of Play and Creative Arts Therapists, Accredited Register, accredited and regulated by the UK government Professional Standards Authority, aiming to improve standards and safety in therapy provision.
