Play Therapy

Therapeutic Play for Emotional Growth

Play therapy provides a therapeutic approach tailored to support your child’s emotional and social development. This service of therapeutic play is offered by a highly experienced and warranted counsellor specialising in working with children. This service utilises the language of play, enabling children to explore and express their emotions and challenges within a safe space. Our skilled trainee therapists employ an array of toys and interactive games, fostering an engaging environment where your child can freely convey their inner thoughts and feelings, bypassing the need for traditional verbal communication.

Who Benefits from Play Therapy

Play therapy can be highly beneficial for children facing emotional or behavioural issues, such as anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem. It also supports those who are undergoing or adjusting to major life changes, including separation, loss, or moving homes. Additionally, children who have experienced trauma, are struggling with social or relationship challenges, or are living with developmental and learning disabilities can benefit greatly. Moreover, it offers valuable help for those dealing with family-related difficulties. Through this supportive approach, children are guided in healing and self-expression—made possible through the power of therapeutic play and creative therapy.

How Imaginative Play Therapy Works

Play therapy uses toys, games, and creative tools to help children express their feelings in a safe and supportive way. During each session, trained professionals carefully guide the process and observe the child’s play behaviour. As a result, children can gradually explore their emotions, develop helpful coping skills, and improve their behaviour. Unlike traditional talk therapy, creative therapy like play therapy allows children to communicate and heal through actions, making it especially effective when words are hard to find.
