Chrysalis Play Therapy

Welcome to Chrysalis Play Therapy, located in Wellington, New Zealand. My name is Marie Baker, and I am a registered child play therapist dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children and families in the Wellington area.

Just like a chrysalis provides a transformative space for a caterpillar to grow and change, I offer a similar sanctuary for children to work through their challenging emotions, thoughts, and experiences. My goal is to empower children to emerge stronger and happier.

Play therapy is an evidence-based practice that harnesses the unique benefits of play to help children process their struggles and discover healthier ways of being. It serves as an alternative to traditional child counseling and psychology. Through play therapy, children can:

- Develop a positive self-image and belief in themselves

- Understand, express, and regulate their emotions effectively

- Process difficult experiences and build resilience

Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, trauma, behavioral issues, or any other challenges, I am here to help them navigate their journey towards healing and growth.

If you're located in the Wellington area and seeking a compassionate and experienced child play therapist, please don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we can create a nurturing space for your child to transform and thrive.
