Thank you so much to Liana Lowenstein and the team at Core Wellness for inviting me to speak about 'Using Minecraft in Play Therapy Sessions' at the ‘It's a Beautiful Day in the Playborhood: 4th World Edition’ event that took place this week. I was speaking alongside the fantastic Robert Jason Grant EdD, Carol Duffy and Fiona Zandt. I had a great time and I'm so grateful for the accommodations made to support me to present via a pre-recorded video as I've been recovering from pneumonia! I really enjoyed the comments in the chat and the live Q&A. If you missed the live event, fear not!

Ellie Finch

Ellie Finch, MA MBACP (Accred), is a clinical supervisor, counsellor, and social worker specialising in support for neurodivergent clients and families of children with additional needs or complex conditions.

Her work is rooted in a neurodiversity-affirming approach, which values neurodivergence as a natural variation in human experience and focuses on building supportive, respectful environments rather than 'fixing' difference.

Ellie is known for her innovative use of creative digital tools and videogames like Minecraft in therapy to create accessible, engaging support. She is founder of PlayMode Academy, a non-profit social venture that trains professionals in the therapeutic use of creative digital tools.

PlayMode Academy is part of Ellie Finch Counselling, Consultancy and Training Ltd, a non-profit company limited by guarantee (a structure often used by social ventures in the UK).

Ellie is also part of the University of Cambridge research team behind Bridging the ChASM: Creating Accessible Services using Minecraft - a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) that explores the therapeutic potential of videogames and how they can be used to create more inclusive mental health support.
