Hello! I’m Zoe Ruffle and I’ve worked in schools for nearly 20 years which means I understand how schools work from different perspectives. I started off as a Learning Support Assistant, then a qualified teacher, a supply teacher and now as a Play Therapist. It is such a pleasure to see the ways in which Play Therapy can help the children I work with.
