Play Therapy is a one-to-one therapy for children aged 4-12. In the sessions children aren't required to use words to describe what is troubling them, but are given space to express their thoughts, emotions and worries through play and creative activities. This enables them to approach their difficult thoughts and emotions at their own pace and at a safe emotional distance. 

​

The play therapist works alongside the child, to build up a safe emotional space for the child and supports them to reflect on their thoughts and emotions. This is done through the play activities, working with the child's conscious and unconscious feelings. The play therapist will have regular meetings with the parents throughout the course of therapy to review how the child is responding in and outside of the therapy sessions.
