Play Therapy for Children

Play Therapy for Children

Play therapy is a therapeutic approach to counselling for children.

Play therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses play to help children deal with emotional and mental health issues.

By using play as the medium, children can explore their feelings and share them with the therapist or the parents.

It is specifically aimed at helping children with emotional, social, and behavioural problems.

Play therapists use children’s natural means of communication, play. This fosters a safe and accepting environment where children heal and grow. The very nature of therapy work with children is that it depends largely on action rather than words. This is how it differs from ‘talking therapy’ that adults use.
