Out of the Woods - Our story

Kerra Hancock and Carol Whibley trained together as play therapists in Cornwall with PTUK. Since qualifying, they have recognised a need in Cornwall for families to be able to access good quality therapy with qualified practitioners.

The county of Cornwall lacked a register of therapists and child psychotherapists who work specifically with children and young people, and they felt, by forming a Community Interest Company they could develop a point of contact for anyone wanting to find out more about therapy, find a therapist and to access funding, subsidised sessions or projects. Kerra is Executive Director of Out of the Woods and Certified Play Therapists and Debbie Priest and Jay-Anne Vogue are our Non-Executive Director.

Children's emotional health is at the heart of the company's ethos.
