How Can Play Therapy Help?

Children don't always have the words to explain how they're feeling, but they often communicate through play. Play therapy provides a safe, accepting space where children can explore emotions, process experiences and develop healthier ways of coping.

Play therapy may support children experiencing:

  • Anxiety and excessive worries

  • Anger and big emotions

  • Low confidence and self-esteem

  • Friendship and social difficulties

  • Trauma and adverse childhood experiences

  • Bereavement and loss

  • Family separation, divorce and changes at home

  • Emotional regulation difficulties

  • School anxiety and emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA)

  • Neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD

  • Bullying

  • Life transitions, including changing schools or moving home

Every child's experience is different. Sessions are tailored to each child's individual needs, allowing them to communicate, heal and grow through the natural language of play.
