The Rainbow Hub Lancaster

At The Rainbow Hub we offer a spectrum of support to empower families. Using a range of therapeutic interventions including Play Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy and Filial Therapy we work with children and families to help create stronger, happier and more connected relationships. 

Play Therapy is for 3-13yr olds and can help with a range of issues including, emotional regulation, social anxiety, general anxiety, self esteem, trauma, seperation/divorce, ASD and ADHD. Using a childs natural from of communication, play, we can help children to begin to understand themselves more and learn more about emotional langauge and process difficult experiences. 

Creative Arts Therapy is for 12-16yr olds and follows the same principles and structure as Play Therapy, however there is usually more talking involved and the therapist can become more directive of activities if they feel something might help. During this therapy we would use arts and craft materials, music, sand, movement, basically whatever the child wants and enjoys. 

Filial Therapy is a type of family therapy and it uses play therapy techniques to help create stronger, long lasting bonds between families. It helps parents/carers understand their childrens behaviours and where they're at with the support of the therapist. Parents learn these play skills and then over time conduct their own special play sessions. This can be beneficial for adopted families, foster families, emotional/anger issues, separation, illnesses, and a whole range of other struggles. 

We also offer parent and children one off workshop classes looking at wellbeing and various other themes. 

We're based in the centre of Lancaster and cannot wait to welcome you into the hub.
