About Play Therapy?
What is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy is a gentle, evidence-based therapeutic form of counselling that uses play to help children express emotions, process experiences, and develop healthy coping strategies.
'Toys are children's words and Play is their language' (Garry Landreth).
Play Therapists use specialised skills to support the child to make sense of their everyday experiences.
Play Therapy fosters self-awareness, emotional resilience, social skills, and confidence. In the Playroom, children are accepted exactly as they are and progress at their pace.
Play Therapy can be highly effective for children dealing with trauma, family changes, Autism, neurodiversity or difficulties with peers, offering a healing space where they feel truly heard and understood.
