What is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy offers a regular, safe space for children to identify and explore difficult experiences and emotions, develop coping mechanisms, build self-esteem and resilience. Play Therapy is form of counselling in which play is used as a means of helping children communicate their experiences and feelings. A child’s natural language is play; children may not have the words to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences, but they can ‘play them out’ in Play Therapy.
