Child Play Based Psychotherapy

Play therapy is a child centred, theoretically informed specialised approach to children's therapy. Children can often experience difficulties adjusting to life circumstances however, children do not possess the cognitive ability to put into words what they are thinking or how they are feeling, often showing us that things are muddled for them through their behaviours. Play therapy enables children to express, regulate, communicate, practice and master new skills and figure out muddled feelings and thoughts in a safe way. Mindra our play therapist will provide your child with a safe, consistent, predictable and warm environment where they can feel free to explore, express and figure out and resolve their muddled feelings.
