Play Therapy

Play therapy offers children the opportunity to explore their thoughts and feelings through play in a consistent, safe environment. The presence of a qualified therapist allows the child to express themselves freely.

Through play therapy, it is hoped that the child will process their thoughts and feelings to enable them to regulate their emotions and be in a place where they can manage and enjoy everyday life.

​

Play therapy sessions usually take place on a school site and an appropriate room or space will need to be available at the same time every week.
