Professional Development for Therapists
Clear Sky provide expert learning and development for therapeutic professionals and family support workers.
We are experts in child-led therapeutic play. We have been working since 2009 to provide training all over the UK to support children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.
We provide an attachment-based skills approach through our suite of CPD accredited training programmes and support a global network of practitioners through our online learning training hub The Institute for Play and Attachment, providing virtual CPD, research, resources and self-care.
Our Power of Play Conference, held in Oxford, is an opportunity to hear from expert speakers, take part in hands-on workshops and network with peers.
We also publish a Directory of Attachment Play specialists, enabling our colleagues to promote their services within their own community.
