Welcome!

A Specialist Therapeutic Service for Children and Families

Marvellous Resources Therapy Services is located in Gosport and can provide a range of psychotherapeutic assessment and intervention services in and around the Hampshire area. This service is owned by me, Lynne Borrowdale, an experienced Children and Families Therapist and Social Worker, who has an abundance of assessment and therapeutic experience regarding Child Mental Health issues and Neurodevelopmental Conditions. Services currently available include Child-Centred Play Therapy, Filial Therapy, Autplay Therapy, Lego Based Therapy and Assessment Work.

I also have an online shop, Children’s Digital Download Therapy Resources, which contains 180 of my original therapeutic product creations that can be used in both face to face work and teletherapy sessions. I also support other Therapists to develop their own businesses in a variety of ways, including initial design branding, social media training and professional template working documents for everyday use.

In addition to my own business activities, I am a former Vice Chair of The British Association of Play Therapists and a Unicef UK Children's Champion.
