Play therapy is a form of counselling which uses a child’s language. Play is the main form of communication for children. It is a space when they practise and master skills, as well as gaining a sense of who they are and forming and developing an understanding of their relationship to others.  

In therapy the child is given the space to play and explore the toys and materials we provide, alongside building a safe relationship with their therapist. Their therapist will then gently hold the play, emotions, thoughts and creativity that are brought to the sessions while following the child’s lead, guiding them when necessary.
