Rachel Meyrick

Position: Play Therapist

Professional background: MA play therapy, BAPT Registered

Year joined: 2025

Specialities and areas of interest:

I work from a humanistic, child centred approach. I have particular interest working with children who have experienced grief and early attachment disruption, including the importance of pre-birth. With a background in theatre and non-verbal communication I move at the child’s pace in a playful way to work deeply with the child.

What do you enjoy outside of work?  

I have two dogs – Porridge and Baggins, who make sure I walk them around most of West London. I also love running, the theatre and music, especially if I can dance to it.
