What is Play Therapy?

Unlocking Emotional Expression Through Play

Play Therapy is a powerful approach that utilises play, a child’s natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings, resolve conflicts, and gain deeper insights into their experiences.

It is particularly effective for children aged 3 to 12, offering a safe environment where they can explore and express their thoughts and emotions.
