Who is Play Therapy for?

Many children show behaviour that indicate that they are experiencing unresolved painful issues. 
 
Play Therapy is for children who are in need of expressing  and processing painful issues. In the Play Therapy room a Play Therapist is both a witness and a partner in a process that leads the child to a greater understanding of his or herself and the world.
Painted Heart
Play Therapy uses a variety of play and creative arts techniques to alleviate chronic, mild and moderate psychological and emotional conditions, mostly responding to the child's wishes. 
The child will have access to a Play Therapy Tool Kit, which includes:
  • Sand trays with miniatures
  • Musical instruments,
  • Art materials e.g. paint, collage and clay
  • Role play
  • Puppets
  • Stories
