Play Therapy

This relationship establishes the trust between the therapist and child, and gives the child's feeling of trust and safety, creating and facilitating their potential to explore themselves and bring about change - the child's process and internal healing or resolution of problems is important. Through their play and with the help of their therapist, children can come to terms with confusing feelings and have a better understanding of who they are and the world around them.

Play therapy helps by

Creating a space that the child feels comfortable in: a room with different types of toys and play aid. The aids may include toys as well as art and craft material through which the child can express themselves. The child is free to move around, explore the space and engage in any activity that they are interested in.
