“It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child is able to be creative and to use the whole personality.”
- D. W. Winnicott
Who's it for?
Play Therapy can be a wonderful support for children aged 4–12 who are experiencing challenges at home or school. Through play and creative activities, children can express themselves and share their thoughts and feelings in a way that feels natural and safe.
Play Therapy can help children who are dealing with a wide range of emotional, social, or behavioural difficulties, including:
- Anxiety or excessive worry
- Low confidence and self-esteem
- Anger or frustration management
- Loss and bereavement
- Family changes such as divorce or separation
- Relationship or communication difficulties
- Bullying (being bullied or bullying others)
- School-related challenges
- Behavioural difficulties
- Physical illness within the family
This approach gives children a safe space to explore feelings, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
