What is Play Therapy?

​

Play therapy is a medium to assist with communication and the processing of emotions. Children can express what they struggle to say through play. With play therapy, children can discover different ways of understanding and coping with difficult emotions.

​

Play therapy is also helpful for parents, carers, and other adults providing care to children in providing skills to support your child.

​
