Description
Play therapy allows a child to explore and make sense of difficult feelings through their most natural form of communication, play. Often it is hard to find the words to communicate experiences directly; play provides an effective medium of communication for a child. The playroom provides a safe space for a child to freely express their emotions and feelings.
Individual sessions are 45 minutes long with an initial meeting held with parents before sessions begin, a review is then held after session 6.
