What is Play Therapy?
Play therapy is a specialised therapeutic intervention designed for children under 12, recognising that sometimes words alone can be challenging for them to express their emotions. It harnesses the language of play and creativity to provide a unique avenue for self-expression.
Toys as Words, Play as Language
In the play therapy room, toys become the vocabulary and play transforms into the language through which children communicate. This approach is especially beneficial as it allows children to navigate and articulate their feelings in a way that feels natural to them.
Engaging at Their Level
Play therapy seeks to meet children on their level, acknowledging and respecting their unique developmental stages. By utilising the medium of play, we create a safe space for children to process and resolve a wide range of difficulties, all at their own pace.
Why Play Therapy?
- Expressive Freedom: Enables children to express themselves freely and creatively.
- Individualised Processing: Tailored to each child’s unique needs and challenges.
- Comfortable Environment: Provides a safe and comfortable setting for exploration.
