Play Therapy
Play Therapy is a form of psychotherapy where children use play to communicate and express their feelings, thoughts, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Through various play activities and interactions with a trained therapist, children can explore and resolve emotional and behavioural issues, develop coping skills, enhance communication, and foster self-esteem and personal growth.
Play Therapy recognises that play is a natural medium for children to process and understand their world, and it provides a non-threatening avenue for them to work through challenges and achieve positive outcomes through accessing their innate abilities to problem-solve and thrive. Having an open communication channel between the play therapist and the child’s main caregiver(s) best facilitates the child’s growth journey.
Our play therapists engage children in a variety of play methods including:
- Storytelling
- Art
- Sandplay
- Music
- Dance & Movement
- Clay
- Puppets
- Creative Visualisation
Play Therapy offers numerous benefits for children, such as:
