Play Therapy

Play is the natural expression of a child. Through play therapy, children are enabled to understand and express their emotions in a healthy way. We offer play therapy for children from ages 4 to 13.

There are many scenarios where a child might benefit from play therapy. We've shared the most common contexts below, but please feel free to get in touch with us if your child's circumstances are different.

Play Therapy After a
Traumatic Life Event

Traumatic life events, such as the death of a family member, parental separation or challenges with friendship groups can cause children to struggle with their emotions. Play therapy helps them work through their experience and express their emotions in a safe way.

Play Therapy Following a
Recent Diagnosis

After a diagnosis of a medical condition such as ADHD, autism or even things like diabetes, children can struggle to process the new label and what it means for their sense of self. Play therapy gives them space and tools to work out how to integrate this new knowledge into their sense of self, in a healthy way. We also can help children who have been unwell in hospital for an extended period and are readjusting to life after recovery.

Play Therapy For
Low Self-Esteem or Anxiety

For children who struggle with low self-esteem, confidence issues or anxiety, play therapy can unlock a new sense of self. As they grow more certain of who they are, they gain confidence, leading to better mental health.
