About us
PTUK was the first Play Therapy organisation in the world that was accredited by the Professional Standard Authority that oversees all Health Care professions in the UK. Play Therapy International ratifies the PTUK standards as they do for many other countries in the world. The Society exists to further the good practice of therapeutic work with children. This includes improving children's emotional literacy as well as alleviating behavioural and mental health problems. Research conducted by PTUK based on over 10,000 cases shows that between 72% and 83% of the children receiving play therapy delivered to PTUK standards show a positive change. PTUK: Helping the children - Protecting the public - Supporting the practitioner. Small enough to care. Large enough to count.

🎉😊🎉👏 🎉Congratulations to this amazing Manchester Certificate group, who have completed their training weekends. Such a warm and friendly group, destined to become brilliant play therapists. They demonstrated their resilience during the training days but also before and after when they battled the elements and dealt with 'Storm Bert' in module 4 and snow, road closures and arctic temperatures as low as -8 degrees during module 5! Well done everyone! Second picture This wonderful group demonstrating how they would explain how the brain works to a group of children. Their representation of Dan Siegel's hand model of the brain was unique! #playtherapyuk #playtherapists #creativeartstherapy #therapeuticwork #play #playtherapists #playtherapytraining #playtherapyworks #learning #onlinelearning #distancelearning #learninganddevelopment #alwayslearning #manchestercohort
