Play and Creative Arts Therapy

Play Therapy is a type of therapy where play and art materials are used as the main way for children to express themselves.

 

Alongside the development of a trusting relationship with a trained therapist the child should be able to fully express and explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviours and work though traumatic experiences which may be preoccupying them.

​

In Play Therapy sessions, children can explore their own creativity and express themselves using media such as: drawing and painting, water and clay, sand tray and miniatures, guided imagery and relaxation techniques, drama and puppetry, personalised therapeutic stories, movement and music.
