As adults, at times of stress and worry we usually use words to express ourselves and make sense of our situation. Play Therapy is a specialised form of therapy which maintains that play is a child’s natural language and toys, symbols and metaphor are a child’s words. Play Therapy provides a safe and confidential place for children and young people to explore and express their thoughts, feelings and experiences at their own pace. Play Therapy follows a non-directive / directive approach. It allows children and young people freedom of choice, within carefully managed boundaries. This allows them to feel safe while the therapist holds the boundaries in a confidential space. The child or young person has the freedom to express themselves verbally, physically or with playthings as they learn more about themselves. This allows their change to come from within. Play Therapy can be a long or short-term intervention dependent of the needs of the child or young person.
