About our workshops and Interplay Intergrated Care Program 

I have developed a modality called Interplay. Interplay is an attachment-based therapeutic approach suitable for children, young people and their parents/carers, where play and affect are the primary means of communication that embraces both the parent/carer and child. Interplay is a foundation of all my workshops. Come join me and take a deep dive into the wonderful world of Interplay.

Interplay is a universal language, focused on healing through relationships. Interplay facilitators create safety, develop understanding and support integration/healing through therapeutic connection.

Interplay facilitators work with parents and their children, putting words to the dyadic unconscious unspoken experience, looking behind behaviour, reflecting on their emotional needs, and deepening self-understanding and that of each other.

As attachment is our primary need and attachment disruption creates so much pain, Donna created Interplay to support and establish safety and connection between the primary caregiver and child. This universal model is fundamental for the future of mankind and can be used by all professionals.

“Bringing unconscious, conscious, developing self-understanding and reconnection to self and each other whilst synchronizing and attuning. The recipe for the development of secure attachment” - Donna Berry

Recently Donna has expanded her training for parents and professionals and will now have an array of workshops and professional development available.
