Play Therapy
Play Therapy is a powerful means of joining with the non-verbal capacities of children in order to engage and work therapeutically with them. It is a developmentally appropriate, evidence-based method of counselling younger clients. In Play Therapy, children can play out their inner and real life experiences in a way that builds insight and capacity. Play Therapy allows children to express, regulate, communicate and gain new insights and skills through a safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship.
