Play Therapy

​​

Play Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses play as a medium for children to express themselves, process emotions, and work through challenges. In a safe and supportive environment, children use toys, games, storytelling, and imaginative play to communicate what they may not yet have the words to say.

​

Guided by a trained play therapist, the sessions are tailored to the child’s individual needs, allowing them to explore their experiences, build coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of self. As play is such a natural and familiar process to children, it serves as a developmentally appropriate medium for them to explore difficult feelings and experiences more indirectly, which can feel less intimidating than direct conversation.

​

Play Therapy is especially effective for children dealing with anxiety, trauma, behavioural issues, grief, or family transitions, and it provides a foundation for long-term emotional resilience.

Sandplay Therapy

​

Sandplay Therapy is a specialised form of Play Therapy that uses a tray of sand and miniature figures to support emotional expression, insight, and healing. In this safe and symbolic space, clients of all ages -- children, adolescents, and adults -- are invited to create scenes or stories in the sand, often revealing inner experiences that may be difficult to express in words.

​

This approach can be especially helpful for those processing trauma, anxiety, grief, or emotional overwhelm. The therapist offers a supportive presence without directing the process, allowing the imagery and symbols to unfold naturally.

​

Through Sandplay Therapy, individuals can gain deeper self-awareness, emotional clarity, and a renewed sense of balance and control within a reflective environment.
