Ep 84 Den Vecchio

Luke talks to Den Vecchio, a play therapist living and working in
Bristol, UK. They discuss the principles of play therapy, why
play therapy has become more available in mainstream schools in
recent years, and overlaps with music therapy practice. Also -
why every play therapist should have snakes, spiders and
crocodiles in their collection!


Den is a thoughtful practitioner and was a very entertaining and
engaging podcast guest. As a music therapist, you're perhaps
unlikely to have come across her, but don't let this discourage
you from listening to this fascinating episode. There's lots of
food for thought here, in particular for music therapists who
work with children and young people.
