Play therapy is a therapeutic approach which stimulates the innate, creative, non-verbal capacities of children. The advantages of child-centred play therapy, is that it gives the child choices regarding how to share any concerns they may have, at a time(s) when they are ready to do so.

 

Play therapy is best suited for children aged 3 years to 10 years of age. However younger children, even infants, benefit from Play Therapy as a tool for early intervention. 

​

Using play therapy, children can act out / role play their inner and real life experiences in a way that allows them to express, regulate, communicate, practice and master new skills and emotional responses. 

 

Play therapy facilitates the exploration of a child's concerns / presenting issues, through a trusted relationship and creative play.
