I can't recommend this Professional Certificate in Play Therapy from Stanmore School of Business enough. The course content was engaging, relevant, and covered a wide range of practical skills and techniques. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on child development and attachment theories, as well as the opportunity to practice various play therapy interventions. The course materials, including video lectures, case studies, and downloadable resources, were top-notch and incredibly useful. Overall, I'm thrilled with the progress I've made in my professional growth as a play therapist, and I attribute much of that success to this exceptional course.

As a UK-based mental health professional, I found the Professional Certificate in Play Therapy from Stanmore School of Business to be an invaluable addition to my skillset. The course was well-structured, with clear learning objectives, and the content was both comprehensive and applicable to real-world situations. I gained a wealth of knowledge on play therapy techniques, ethical considerations, and the importance of cultural sensitivity in therapeutic work. My only critique would be the pacing of the course, as I sometimes found it challenging to keep up with the weekly deadlines. Nonetheless, I'm truly grateful for this enriching learning experience.
