About Sharon Abbott
BA (Hons) Education | PGCE (QTS) | MSc Play Therapy
Registered BAPT Play Therapist
Hello, I’m Sharon Abbott — a BAPT-registered play therapist with over 20 years’ experience supporting children and families.
I began my career in education, teaching in both primary and special needs settings. Since completing my MSc in Play Therapy in 2019, I’ve worked with children aged 2 to 15, specialising in emotional and behavioural challenges including anxiety, family breakdown, domestic abuse, and bereavement.
I use child-centred play therapy and Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) to help children express themselves, process difficult experiences, and build emotional resilience through play.
