Play Therapy

Service Description

Our play therapy sessions focus on helping children to express their emotions and work through challenges using therapeutic play techniques tailored to their specific needs. Play therapy is a developmentally sensitive, neuro-affirming and evidence based approach. It is best suited to children aged 3 to 12 years, and for up to 15 years for young people with developmental challenges. Play therapy can be both directive and non-directive, depending on the needs of the child. Play therapy uses many creative mediums, such as art, mask making, painting and clay; music; dance and movement; drama and role play; creative visualisation; metaphoric storytelling, puppetry and Sandplay.
