Play Therapy
Play Therapy
For children between 4 and 10 years old, play-based approaches are recommended. As for older children and teenagers, counselling sessions that integrate creativity, art, and play alongside verbal therapies can be beneficial.
Children are provided with a safe and supportive environment where they can freely express themselves and communicate their emotions.
With toys, games, art materials, and storytelling, our trained therapists facilitate exploration and understanding of difficult feelings and experiences. Play therapy promotes self-awareness, problem-solving skills, and emotional regulation, fostering healthy development and resilience in children.
Benefits of Play Therapy include
Emotional Expression
Play therapy provides children with a safe and non-threatening environment to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play. This allows them to communicate and process complex emotions that they may find difficult to express verbally.
Problem-Solving and Coping Skills
Through play, children learn problem-solving skills and develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges they may face. Play therapy encourages imaginative and creative exploration, fostering resilience and adaptability in children.
Enhanced Communication and Relationship Building
Play therapy strengthens the bond between the child and the therapist, as well as improving communication skills and interpersonal relationships. By engaging in play activities with the therapist, children develop trust, confidence, and a sense of security, which can positively impact their interactions with others in various contexts.
