Play Therapy
Play Therapy is a therapeutic approach where children use play to explore their emotions, build social skills, and resolve conflicts. It’s a proven, evidence-based method that helps children express themselves when they may not have the words or ability to articulate their feelings. Through play, children can learn new ways of coping, manage their emotions, and develop problem-solving skills.
Our Play Therapy sessions use a variety of creative activities, including:
Toys and Play Objects: Using dolls, figures, or other toys to express emotions and scenarios
Art: Drawing, painting, and other forms of artistic expression
Role-playing: Acting out scenarios to process emotions or experiences
Games: Interactive games that encourage social skills, cooperation, and conflict resolution

Play Therapy is a developmentally appropriate form of counselling for children, where the child has the opportunity to use “play” to process and explore their inner thoughts, worries and feelings. Play therapy is to children what counseling is to adults; play is a child’s natural medium of expression, which helps children express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.iption for this block.
