About Me

Ellie Cudmore | Play and Creative Arts Therapist

I have a first class honours degree in Education Studies and spent 12 years as a primary school teacher here in beautiful Cornwall.

Throughout my career in education, I witnessed first hand the pressure on our young people, a declining resilience to cope with life’s challenges and a sharp rise in mental health concerns. I knew I wanted to move in the direction of a career that would allow me to help children and young people more holistically. I wanted to provide a more focused support for those children who were experiencing challenges in their life.

In 2019 I decided to leave my then post as Head of School, and embark upon a Diploma in Play & Creative Arts Therapy with PTUK. In my work as a professional Play Therapist I help children of all ages to thrive, building a secure foundation of who they are and the worth they have within so that they can move forwards healthier and happier.

I am committed to holding space for deep healing so that my clients may develop confidence and resilience, celebrating their uniqueness and reaching their full potential. I feel privileged to work with young people from all over Cornwall, witnessing the true change that Play Therapy can bring about.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more about my services or have any questions about how Play Therapy can help you and your family.
